The front page of Friday’s Telegraph. Friday’s Guardian front page also leading on Raab. The Times leads with Sunak sleeping on the Raab report. Friday’s Daily Mail. Here is some of Friday’s front pages, starting with the i. A summary of today"s developments No 10 is not going to announce a decision about Dominic Raab’s future today. Raab was fighting for his political life as the prime minister pored over a “stinging” report into bullying allegations that will decide the future of one of his closest allies. Government sources suggested that Raab wanted to be allowed to stay on as deputy prime minister and justice secretary despite what were said to be searing findings from the five-month inquiry into claims of bullying by civil servants. Sunak spent hours on Thursday afternoon examining the report by Adam Tolley KC, which has not concluded whether Raab broke the ministerial code, leaving the final decision to the prime minister. According to one Ministry of Justice source, Raab was battling to stay in post, believing the findings – which he has read – do not mean he should have to resign. By Thursday evening, however, he and Sunak had yet to hold any direct discussions. Raab was investigated over eight formal complaints about his behaviour as foreign secretary, Brexit secretary and during his first stint as justice secretary. Downing Street had declined throughout the day to indicate when the report will be published but insisted a resolution will be sought “as swiftly as possible”. Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, said: “While the prime minister dithers and delays, trying to summon up the guts to sack his own deputy, working people are battling the worst cost of living crisis for a generation – food bills and mortgage rates are rising, wages are stagnating, and too many of us are waiting months and even years for health treatment.” The Liberal Democrats also accused Sunak of “dither and delay”. The NHS has launched a legal challenge that could end in the high court to block the second day of an upcoming strike by tens of thousands of nurses. The Bar Council, which represents barristers, has joined the Law Society in saying the amendments to the illegal migration bill proposed by the government would undermine the rule of law. Asylum centres could be fast-tracked without local approval under a controversial new planning power for critically urgent government developments. While the streamlined procedure “may not be a suitable route” for the migrant housing crisis, Tory frontbencher Earl Howe did not rule out its future use to create accommodation. The provision, proposed in draft legislation, would place the decision for developing Crown land, where the scheme was of national importance and needed immediately, in the hands of the Secretary of State rather than the local planning authority. Critics argue the measure, contained in the Levelling-Up and Regeneration Bill, is designed to force through centres to house asylum seekers. Speaking in the House of Lords as peers continued their detailed scrutiny of the Bill, Labour frontbencher Baroness Hayman of Ullock said: “The Government has consistently sought to avoid public scrutiny and consultation about the construction or operation of large-scale institutional facilities for asylum accommodation. “Our concern is that the powers provided for in this clause is to facilitate the driving through of centres regardless of their impact on the people placed in them or on the local communities in which they are situated.” Dominic Raab was fighting for his political life as the prime minister pored over a “stinging” report into bullying allegations that will decide the future of one of his closest allies, write Aubrey Allegretti and Pippa Crerar.

It will take at least two years for guidance aimed at saving the lives of children and young people with acute eating disorders to be consistently followed, a senior NHS official has admitted. Campaigners have warned that people are dying because guidance on medical emergencies in eating disorders (Meed) introduced last year is not regularly being implemented by specialists. Claire Murdoch, NHS England’s national mental health lead, was challenged on why Meed is not always being adhered to when she gave evidence to MPs on the Public Accounts Committee. In response to a question from Labour committee member Olivia Blake, Murdoch, who is also chief executive of Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, said the guidance in itself is “not enough” to eradicate poor and potentially fatal practices. She said it takes time to conduct the required training, identify poor performance and share best practice, adding demand pressures on the NHS had hindered progress. On the report’s possible findings, ITV’s Lucy McDaid has tweeted this. More than 43,000 people were declared dead by the time an ambulance arrived last year, according to statistics given to the Liberal Democrats. The data, revealed following freedom of information (FOI) requests sent by the party to ambulance trusts in England, suggests an average of 120 people died per day before an ambulance reached them in 2022. For the past three years, the figures suggest the number of people who have died before an emergency services team reached them has stood at more than 43,000, indicating an annual trend. The Lib Dems said the statistics were “truly shocking” and blamed “a Conservative government starving the NHS of the resources it needs”. But the Department of Health and Social Care said it was “misleading” to imply a link between deaths and ambulance waiting times. Officials at the department also pointed out that the annual headline figure had “not significantly changed over the three-year period”.
