			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/files/2008/05/motorists.jpg" title="motorists.jpg"><img align="left" width="150" src="http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/files/2008/05/motorists.thumbnail.jpg" alt="motorists.jpg" height="103" class="imageframe" /></a>The ever increasing tax burden and Gordon Brown&#8217;s woes dominate the front pages today.</p>
<p>The <strong>Daily Telegraph</strong> reports research has shown that the average motorist is paying more than £600 a year extra in tax under Labour. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1933307/Labour%27s-tax-on-drivers-up-andpound600-a-year.html">Story here</a></p>
<p>The tax burden also makes front page news in the <strong>Daily Express </strong>which says Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been warned that he must stop tax rises or face defeat in the next election. <a href="http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/43634">Story here</a></p>
<p>The <strong>Daily Mail </strong>says price rises mean families have less to spend than for 17 years. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=564454&amp;in_page_id=1770&amp;ct=5">Story here </a></p>
<p>Brown&#8217;s style of leadership and signs that support for him in his own party is waning also feature heavily on the front pages. <strong>The Times </strong>says more than half of Labour supporters believe that Brown should stand down to make way for a more electable politician. <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article3882852.ece">Story here</a></p>
<p>Brown also faces new threats to his authority over Scottish independence, 42-days detention and the 10p tax climbdown, <strong>The Guardian</strong> says. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/may/07/scotland.gordonbrown">Story here</a></p>
<p><strong>The Independent</strong> leads with the cyclone in Myanmar, saying the country&#8217;s military government is obstructing global aid efforts. <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/aid-agencies-face-battle-to-reach-victims-of-the-cyclone-822139.html">Story here</a></p>
<p><strong>The Sun</strong> also focuses on the Myanmar cyclone, the &#8220;Tide of Death&#8221; as it says. <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1133969.ece">Story here</a></p>
