Many of the papers lead with the latest tranche of the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice, which includes an email exchange between Ghislaine Maxwell and a person signing off as ‘A’ writing from the “Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family”. The Daily Mirror says the author of the email asked Maxwell to “find me some ‘friends'” who are described as “inappropriate”, according to the paper. The emails do not indicate any wrongdoing. The BBC has contacted Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s team for a response. The former prince has previously denied all wrongdoing.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The Guardian also leads with the “girls” email from the Epstein files, saying “Andrew faces new pressure”. A photo shows climate activist Greta Thunberg being questioned by a police officer in London. The paper writes she was arrested “after protesting in support of the Prisoners for Palestine hunger strike”.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The government will “scrap farm raid” plans, the Daily Express writes. Labour will raise the “tax threshold on inherited farmland” from \u00a31m to \u00a32.5m, the paper says. It quotes farmer Jonathan Charlesworth \u2013 whose dad took his own life “amid fears” of the tax \u2013 saying the change was “the best Christmas present for a lot of farmers”. A preview of King Charles III’s Christmas message, which will be delivered from Westminster Abbey, also features on the front page.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Labour’s “quiet Christmas U-turn” on its inheritance tax plans is the Financial Times’s take. “Treasury to forgo \u00a3130mn” in tax revenue as a consequence, the paper writes, as it “shrinks [the] share of farmers facing inheritance tax to 15%”. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The Times says Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faced a “revolt by Labour MPs” over the initial \u00a31m inheritance tax threshold proposal, writing “Downing Street was warned that over 40 MPs were prepared to defy Starmer.”<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

“Farmers cheer as Starmer U-turns on tractor tax raid” reads the Independent’s headline, which the paper says follows “months of fierce protests\u00a0\u2013 and financial anguish for many families”. <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

“Loathe actually” is the Daily Star’s headline spin on the popular Christmas film Love Actually, whose director Richard Curtis and his wife Emma Freud oppose “the idea of a 30-pitch campsite in their swanky village”. Plans for the campsite were approved by East Sussex Council, which Mr Curtis “objects to”, the paper says.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
