In Britain, Monday’s newspaper front pages have revealed the Conservatives have been warned against factional infighting or risk losing the next general election.

According to the Daily Express, Nadine Dorries – a key ally of former UK prime minister Boris Johnson – has urged the party to put aside their differences or they could see Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer “taking the keys to Downing Street”.

The i has pointed to the resignation of the former culture secretary and her blistering attack on UK prime minister Rishi Sunak in opening fresh rifts in the party amid worrying poll results.

The Financial Times says the ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) will be a “shot in the arm” for businesses across London.
