The Daily Telegraph says Prime Minister Boris Johnson is to relax immigration rules for European lorry drivers, allowing 5,000 people to work in the UK “to ease threat of fuel and food shortages”.
The i weekend leads on the “Brexit visa U-turn” as does The Guardian, while the FT Weekend says Mr Johnson has “bowed to months of pressure from business” and the temporary visa scheme will cover up to 10,000 foreign workers.
The Independent writes about the “Government scramble” to ease visa requirements coming “too late to save Christmas”.

The Daily Mail leads with the “huge jams at forecourts” despite pleas from Transport Secretary Grant Shapps for people not to panic buy fuel, while the Daily Star carries the headline “Grumpy pumpy!”
And the Daily Express says Mr Johnson has lost his patience “with inaction over the supply chain crisis”.
