The government’s decision to add France to its quarantine list has prompted a “scramble” among British holidaymakers to book trains, ferries and flights home before the new rules kick in, according to the Times’ front page lead.

The Times also reports a “revolt” by Tory MPs over the “shambolic” handling of A-level results.
