The Times reports that, during a rehearsal codenamed "Exercise Turnstone", government officials found that the UK farming and hospitality sectors would be hit "earliest and hardest" by any shortage of carbon dioxide caused by the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and other problems with gas production. The paper says CO₂ is used in slaughtering nearly all pigs and more than two-thirds of chickens and the farming sector is not thought to have much by way of surplus supplies. A senior government source told the BBC that the planning was for a worst case scenario and not a prediction of what would happen. The planning did not suggest there would be a lack of critical supplies of food, the source said.

The Daily Telegraph leads on a forecast by the International Monetary Fund, that taxes in the UK are set to rise the fastest, out of any of the G7 nations. It says the tax burden as a proportion of GDP will be more than 40%, a "peacetime high" as the paper puts it, at the start of the next decade.

The Financial Times reports that Iran has acquired a Chinese-built spy satellite which it is allegedly using to monitor US bases in the Middle East. The paper says that with Tehran targeting its Gulf neighbours, who sell oil to China, the matter is "sensitive". China tells the Financial Times the report is untrue.

The Guardian carries an analysis of oil and gas companies' profits reporting that the world's top 100 firms had a "war windfall" in March, totalling $US23bn (£16.9bn).

Hundreds of public bodies are, according to the Daily Mail, yet to update their policies on single-sex spaces, despite the Supreme Court's landmark judgement on biological sex, a year ago. The paper's headline is "Labour's Shameful Betrayal of Women". A government spokesperson says it has always supported the protection of single-sex spaces, based on biological sex.

Several of the back pages report that LIV Golf is in jeopardy, with the tour's Saudi backers set to pull their funding. The Daily Telegraph says senior executives have been summoned to an emergency meeting in Manhattan.

And the Sun reports that the transport secretary's car had to be towed away after hitting a pothole. Heidi Alexander tells the paper the car blew two tyres thanks to a "crater worthy of the moon" on a road near Burford in Oxfordshire. She acknowledges the resulting expense and inconvenience adding that it was "the experience of far too many people in the country at the moment".
