'RAF jet crash escape' and'Tories to cut benefits' Image caption, The moment two RAF pilots ejected from a jet is splashed across the front page of the Daily Mirror, which says it is a miracle nobody was killed in the incident. The two pilots were taking part in a training exercise in Anglesey when they were forced to parachute from the plane, which the paper reports then plummeted nose-first into a field and caused a huge fireball. Image caption, Several of the papers lead on the Conservative party's promise to prevent long-term jobless benefit claimants from spending their welfare payments on alcohol, cigarettes and gambling. The Times declares Tories to cut benefits for long-term unemployed, and includes quotes from party leader Kemi Badenoch, who says she plans to stop joblessness being a lifestyle choice for those who can't be bothered. Image caption, The Daily Mail says Badenoch's ruthless crackdown would see people who have been unemployed for more than six months have their Universal Credit cut by 30%.
