the telegraph suggests borisjohnson is set to face his first major cabinet revolt over a �*plan c�* of covid restrictions in the fight against omicron. from a cabinet rebellion to a public backlash — the observer has spoken to behavioural scientists who say falling trust in the prime minister means some will ignore or even go against any new measures which might be introduced. the express thinks the week ahead will be one of reckoning for borisjohnson. the paper says as well as the nation's christmas plans, the prime minister's own premiership is hanging in the balance. and the times has got hold of leaked documents which say preparations are being made for the mass vaccination of primary schoolchildren as the fight against omicron intensifies, but the show must go on. the paper carries a photo of five primary school shepherds in west yorkshire, getting ready for their nativity play. right, on with the motley. let's be in with ros. yeah. there doesn't seem to be any end to the moment to these stories that seem to be coming out about what may have been parties or gatherings or celebrati

the telegraph also leads with this saying the prime minister's bid to move on from the tories�* by—election derailed by the fresh leaks. the times says the inquiry into those parties is now in disarray as simon case steps back from the investigation. former ethics chief at the cabinet office, sue gray will take over. the i reports that omicron cases are getting out of control — with variant cases doubling every one—and—a—half days in london, the north east, west midlands and yorkshire. the ft reports that scientists believe the omicron variant is no less severe, as cases in the uk soar past 93,000 to reach a record high for the third consecutive day. but the mail splashes on the backlash from business leaders calling for the 10—day isolation rule to be scrapped, although the paper does also report that it is not yet known whether the omicron is actually any milder the previous variants. so, let's begin. it is the mirror. with the latest twists in this party saga. it’s it is the mirror. with the latest twists in this party saga. it's been such a slow _ twists in this party saga. it's been su

the telegraph says a million covid boosterjabs a day will be offered in an emergency programme to head the risk of a new year lockdown. the guardian says borisjohnson is gambling on an unprecedented ramping up of vaccines to avoid imposing further restrictions, with the army will be deployed across the country. the times points out that borisjohnson admitted that some nhs appointments and procedures would be cancelled, as doctors and nurses were re—deployed to the jab campaign. the i reports the target to offer every adult a booster is being brought forward from end of january to 31 december. while the daily mirror carries borisjonson�*s warning of a "tidal wave of omicron" potentially overwhelming the nhs. the metro says more than half a million boosterjabs have been delivered on a single record—breaking day — as the country races to head off a "rapid rise" of the omicron variant. as well as the booster campaign, the daily mail also reflects on lewis hamilton losing out to max verstyappen in the race to become formula one champion. and in other news, the financial times reports ukrain
