Leading the Sunday Times is a report that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has offered several of the party’s MPs, including Diane Abbott, peerages “to quit and make way for allies”. In international news, the newspaper reports that right-wingers in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet have threatened to “dissolve the government” rather than take up a deal with Hamas supported by the US that involves a ceasefire and the freeing of hostages
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak “suffers poll blow”, the Observer reports, as he faces “accusations of using levelling up funds to win votes”. Elsewhere, the paper also reports on the latest in the Middle East, quoting Mr Netanyahu as saying the ceasefire deal is a “non-starter” and that “Hamas must be completely destroyed” before Israel will end its war in Gaza
The Sunday Telegraph’s political editor Camilla Turner pens two pieces on the broadsheet’s front page. One airs comments from Chancellor Jeremy Hunt recalling a Gordon Brown-era pension policy, which forms his argument that “Labour betrayed pensioners before”. The other hears from Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on a Labour policy to train Britons in fields such as care and construction in a bid to cut migration. She says current policy “basically incentivises” firms to hire from abroad
The Sunday Express also reports Conservative comments on what the party projects to be Labour pension policy, quoting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who says he “really fears for pensioners under a Labour government”
“Rattled Tories” are demanding Rishi Sunak announce tax cut policies “to save the party from oblivion”, the Mail on Sunday reports in its lead story. It features comments from Jeremy Hunt, who told the paper that “two cuts to National Insurance had failed to swing public opinion” prior to the election being called
The Sunday Mirror features the conviction of former US president Donald Trump on its front page with a splash on the reaction from Stormy Daniels. The paper reports that Ms Daniels, whose hush-money payment made the basis of Trump’s convictions, says she is “vindicated” by the result, but that “the legacy of the trial will stay with her forever”
The Daily Star Sunday’s front page reports that a magazine photoshoot of Gareth Southgate wearing a cardigan has prompted a spike in sales of the “grandpa fashion” piece
The Sunday People leads with a story citing a former school teacher of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who the paper quotes describing him as a “self-serving opportunist”
