The Independent covers the chancellor's announcement on planned spending cuts under the headline: "Happy New Year from George Osborne." It says he's been accused of targeting the poor and sparing the rich. 
The Guardian sees a "cabinet clash", saying it's not just Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg who's opposed to the approach to welfare cuts but the man who'd be in charge of imposing them - Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith. 
The Times also suggests there is disharmony within the Conservative ranks over the targeting of cuts at working-age people, quoting a source close to Mr Duncan Smith as saying: "You can't keep hacking at the same people." 
The Daily Mirror contrasts the planned welfare cuts with news that the prime minister's hairdresser is to get an MBE. It says Lino Carbosiero charges £90 a cut. The BBC understands he wasn't nominated by David Cameron. 
Meanwhile, there's good news for people with pensions, according to the Daily Express. It says funds will be boosted by a 4.5% rise in the value of dividends from companies who are benefiting from the UK's economic resurgence. 
UK car sales have surged to their highest level since before the 2008 economic downturn, the Financial Times reports. It says cheap credit and improved consumer confidence have made the UK's car market Europe's most buoyant. 
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson is quoted by the Daily Mail calling for shoppers to buy more British food. He reportedly believes that a quarter of the meat and groceries we import could be produced in the UK. 
The Daily Telegraph says more stretches of motorway will see speed limits cut after the Highways Agency announced a 60mph limit on a stretch of the M1 to meet EU clean air targets. The paper says 14 other areas could be affected. 
The i newspaper also says that 10mph speed limit reductions could be put in place on several roads after the M1 trial. It carries warnings from motoring groups that the variable speed limits could leave drivers "confused". 
The Sun has an interview with a woman it says was a victim of human trafficking who - it turned out - was held as a "sex slave" in a house where serial killer Fred West once lived. 
The Daily Star leads with the latest from Channel 5 show Celebrity Big Brother. It also finds space on its front page to plug sports stories, including the news that Arsenal star Theo Walcott will miss football World Cup through injury.
