Labour leader Ed Miliband's pledge to refer all High Street banks to the competition authorities, if his party is elected, leads the Guardian. The paper sees it as a threat to "break up" the biggest banks. 
However, the Financial Times has bad news for the Labour leader. It says Bank of England governor Mark Carney opposes the idea of reducing retail banks' market share, or imposing a "crude" cap on bonuses. 
The Times carries the same story but leads on council figures showing that 959 school staff, including teachers, were suspended, disciplined or sacked after being accused of a sexual relationship with a pupil in the last five years. 
Under the headline "the Great British Bunk-off", the Sun reports how police in the Dominican Republic are assisting in the search for two boarding school pupils who are understood to have flown to the Caribbean. 
The Independent follows up Wednesday's exclusive report, which suggested some women in ethnic minority communities were having illegal abortions to avoid having girls, by saying it has prompted a government investigation. 
The i also has the story, saying the Department of Health approached the paper for help and that MPs have questioned whether women should be allowed to know the gender of an unborn child. 
The Daily Telegraph leads on criticism of Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg for allowing policy adviser Lord Rennard to "resume his roles", despite an inquiry finding evidence the peer had "violated the personal space of female activists". 
The Daily Mirror leads on the latest from the trial of Coronation Street star William Roache, who denies sex offences. It reports testimony heard in court that he sent a letter to a 14-year-old he's alleged to have assaulted in a toilet. 
The Daily Mail prints the signed photo the court was told Mr Roache sent with the letter. Its lead story says the UK Statistics Authority has withdrawn its "stamp of approval" from crime figures, declaring they "may not be reliable". 
The Roache trial is reduced to a paragraph on the front page of the Daily Star. Instead, it leads on the latest from Celebrity Big Brother and a row between two contestants and their subsequent efforts to bury the hatchet. 
The Daily Express hails the results of a 16-year scientific study of mole rats - the only animals immune to cancer - which it says could prove a major breakthrough in fighting cancer in other mammals, including humans.
Banks: bonuses and break-ups, and William Roache trial on front pages
