Newspaper headlines: 'No way back' says Harry and hope of strike breakthrough – BBC

The Independent says it's spoken to a source close to the Royal Family who warns that a reconciliation with Prince Harry is now "impossible" – and that the situation is unlikely to change while Harry remains "kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy".
The unnamed source says the King, Queen Consort and Prince William fear anything they say to Harry will now be made public – adding that they won't engage as they "don't recognise the version of events" set out in his memoir and recent interviews.
The Sun and The Daily Express say Harry's been accused of crossing the King's red line with his criticism of Camilla – by describing her as "dangerous" and "the villain".
The Sun quotes a royal insider who says that palace staff are incredibly loyal to Camilla and this will go down like a lead balloon.
The Express reports that friends and former aides of the King said he was upset and saddened by the criticism of his "beloved second wife".
In an editorial, the paper says Harry's attack on Camilla is "of such public ferocity" that it's bound to have lifelong consequences.
The Telegraph's editorial says what it calls Prince Harry's "self-pitying whinge" has poured more petrol onto a bonfire of resentments.
The Daily Mail focuses on Harry's assertion that he and Meghan can never move back to the UK as working royals.
It quotes sources suggesting that Prince William is so hurt and angered by his brother's accusations that he has "no appetite" to speak to him.
The Metro reports that the Duke's popularity has plummeted and that "Britain has had enough".
The i says ministers are considering a "rejigged" pay deal for NHS workers that could include some backdated pay and could lead to forthcoming strike action being called off.
But a claim by the Unite union that the government is seeking "productivity savings" brings derision from the Mirror.
"Work Harder!" is the paper's headline next to a picture of an exhausted nurse.
The lead in the Times is a report that patients face being treated in cabins set up in hospital car parks which could include new discharge lounges.
A spokesman for the Royal College of Emergency Medicine tells the paper that such spaces only move corridor care into temporary structures that will rapidly fill up.
The Daily Telegraph and The Times report that Britain is considering becoming the first western country to send tanks to Ukraine.
The Telegraph says such a move would provide Kyiv with a "knockout punch" – and would "bust the taboo" that has prevented the West from sending modern tanks for fear of escalating the conflict with Russia.
The Times says the British army will send about a dozen Challenger 2s, with a formal announcement expected next week.
The Financial Times leads on an apparent breakthrough in talks with Brussels over what it describes as the "corrosive row" over Northern Ireland's post-Brexit trading arrangements.
The paper adds that the atmosphere around the negotiations has changed dramatically since Boris Johnson, who negotiated the Northern Ireland protocol in 2019, left office in September.
