Newspaper headlines: 'Tories splash the cash' and £30bn 'war on virus'

Image captionThe image of Chancellor Rishi Sunak holding the Budget details is splashed across most of the front pages. The Daily Express calls it a "bold battle plan for Britain" as the government looks to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.

Image captionThe new chancellor "ditched a decade of Conservative orthodoxy", according to the Guardian, which says Mr Sunak claimed the Tories were now "the party of the public services".

Image captionThe Times describes it as "Sunak's road to riches", saying the chancellor announced the biggest budget giveaway for almost 30 years. It claims that over the entire parliament running up to 2025, the government will borrow an estimated total of £300bn.

Image captionThe Financial Times claims Rishi Sunak's first Budget was "warmly received" by most Conservative MPs but not the markets.

Image captionMr Sunak pledging a £30bn war chest to tackle coronavirus is the focus for the Daily Mirror.

Image caption"Dr feelgood to the rescue" is the take in the Daily Mail, which describes Mr Sunak's performance as an "assured Budget debut".

Image captionBritain entering a new phase in its response to coronavirus is the lead in the Daily Telegraph. It says the response will move from the "contain" phase to the "delay" phase in the fight against the virus, aimed at postponing the peak of the crisis until June.

Image captionThe same story makes the front of the i, which says the UK is escalating its response. It reports that social distancing and remote working will be among the strategies the public will be advised to adopt.

Image captionThe coronavirus outbreak hitting Westminster is the focus for the Metro. The paper says Boris Johnson will not be tested because he did not come within two metres of his government colleague - Nadine Dorries - who was the first MP to be diagnosed with the virus.

Image captionAnd the Daily Star's main story is about the threat of seagulls - it says a crackdown on culling them means the UK is facing "mass attacks".

Rishi Sunak's first Budget - and the measures he announced to help Britain cope with the coronavirus outbreak - dominate the front pages.

For the Daily Mail, it's "Dr Feelgood to the Rescue". The paper says Mr Sunak "gave the economy a £30bn vaccination" in an assured debut as chancellor.

The Daily Express says he delivered a "bold battle plan" for Britain's war against the virus.

"Sunak's road to riches" is the headline in the Times. The paper says the chancellor's £30bn spending spree marks the biggest giveaway since Norman Lamont's pre-election budget in 1992.

The Guardian agrees he's "splashing the cash" - but questions whether it will "hit the right targets".

The paper says criticism from the backbenches was led by the former prime minister, Theresa May, who sounded a warning about the long-term impact of loosening the purse strings.

The Spectator's Isabel Hardman says the £30bn package for dealing with coronavirus looks like "small change" when you consider the overall spend.

"It could easily have been a Labour budget", she writes - and all the noises from the chancellor are that he's keen to spend more.

The Daily Telegraph says Boris Johnson is about to announce that the coronavirus outbreak cannot be contained - and that Britain is moving to the next phase of its response.

The paper says the prime minister will outline a timetable of social distancing measures for the public after chairing a meeting of the government's emergency committee on Thursday.

US President Donald Trump's European travel ban came too late for the UK newspapers. The New York Times website says Mr Trump finally appears to be acknowledging the severity of coronavirus.

His announcement, the paper says, "signalled a break from the business-as-usual attitude" he had been trying to project two days ago, when he said the virus would soon go away.

The Washington Post says the policy is another example of President Trump failing to work with other world leaders to fashion a common response - preferring to promote his border wall over the scientific advice of his own medical experts.

The Financial Times reports that stark growth forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) have "laid bare" the economic cost of Brexit.

The official budget watchdog warned that leaving the European Union would hit growth, exports and the public finances at a time of rising uncertainty.

The paper says the OBR predicts a drop in GDP of more than 5% over the next 15 years, even if a trade deal is struck.

And the Daily Telegraph reports that storm clouds are gathering over the French wine industry - because of a growing thirst for craft beer.

Domestic sales of Bordeaux have fallen to their lowest level for 20 years. The number of microbreweries, by contrast, has shot up.

The Bordeaux Wine Council said it planned to launch a new advertising campaign, promoting the "hipsters, creatives and crazy people" who produce wine - in a bid to win back young drinkers.
