There are a range of general election policy pledges across the front pages of Sunday’s papers. The Observer goes with a Labour promise to “establish 80 new rape courts” in England and Wales as part of wide-ranging plans “to tackle violence against women and girls”. The policy is expected to be unveiled in the party’s manifesto next week.
The Sunday Express reports on a “six-year masterplan” from Reform Party leader Nigel Farage to “reshape politics” and carry out what the paper terms a “hostile takeover” of the Tories. In an interview with the Express, he says if he wins a seat at the election, his aim is to make a “serious attempt to create a coherent party that genuinely believes in this country”.
The Sunday Telegraph leads on criticism of Labour’s net-zero plans by Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho.
The Sunday Times reports that the Labour manifesto will codify its pledge “not to put up income tax, national insurance or VAT”. The party has previously said it will not raise those taxes if it wins the general election. The Sunday Time has its own exclusive story on the front, looking at British “cash mules” bringing money into Dubai.
The Mail on Sunday leads on the search for missing TV presenter Michael Mosley, who writes a column for the paper. It reports rescuers are focusing on “a dangerous cave complex known as the Abyss”.
The Sunday People also focuses on Michael Mosley – leading on his wife Clare saying their family would “not lose hope”.
The Sunday Mirror leads on the Princess of Wales, who has said she hopes to return to public duties “very soon”.
And the Daily Star leads on a story about a woman who has named one of her children Lucifer.
