Sunday’s front pages are led by a mix of political, economic and international stories, with several papers focusing on the cost of living, welfare and migration. The Sunday Telegraph says Chancellor John Healey has warned supermarkets he will not allow them to take the public “for a ride” as the Middle East crisis pushes up living costs.
He vowed to crack down on “price-gouging”, saying regulators have the power to
“clamp down on it if it happens”. Elsewhere on the front page, a smiling Prince Louis is pictured wearing a Welsh cycling hat while watching the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
How are other Sunday papers covering the cost of living?
The Sunday Mirror follows with a pledge from the PM that helping families to ease the cost of living remains his top priority.
The Sunday Express says there are fears that families could be hit with a “tax on death” to pay for the PM’s social care reforms. The paper says an analysis shows that families could face a £76,000 bill should the levy go ahead, with Andy Burnham yet to directly rule it out.
What is the Observer reporting on FIFA?
The Observer’s front page is dominated by a photo of Fifa president Gianni Infantino as it reports on the fallout from his failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. Its headline is
“Own goal”.
What does The Sunday Times say about Nigel Farage?
The Sunday Times reports that Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform UK leader months before the 2024 general election. The paper says Farage negotiated the pact in March and April of that year, undermining his claim that he had no intention of returning to politics until June 2024.
The paper notes the date of Farage’s return to politics has been raised amid questions over whether he needed to declare a £5m gift to Parliament. But it adds that Reform sources say the deal had been drafted for if, not when, Farage became leader.
What is happening at the Ceuta border?
The Independent continues its coverage of the border crisis at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has accused EU countries of being
“selfish”in their response after more than 60,000 people crossed the border from Morocco on Thursday.
The Mail on Sunday follows with a photo of a Spanish soldier checking on two migrants who collapsed on the beach in Ceuta.
What are the tabloids focusing on?
The Daily Star shifts its focus to the mother of Henry Nowak’s killer, who has been moved to a different wing in jail after fears of being attacked by other inmates. Kiran Kaur was jailed last month for three years for removing the murder weapon from the scene of the crime in Southampton.
The Sunday People leads with a former friend of double murderer Allan Grimson, who fears he may have committed other crimes. Earlier this week, Grimson was found guilty of sexually assaulting four males and convicted of 13 offences committed in the 1990s.
