“End this bloody disgrace” leads the Sunday Times, with the last two words emphasised in bright red. The paper is campaigning for compensation for victims of the infected blood scandal. It says that more than 180 senior politicians, including former prime minister Boris Johnson are backing it. The paper also touts an in-depth interview with Victoria Beckham, after she turned 50 earlier this week.
Posh Spice’s 50th is also featured on the front page of the Sunday Express. But the paper leads on a story about the Home Office preparing a list of the first migrants to be put on a flight to Rwanda. The newspaper, which has long backed the government on its proposed plans for asylum claims to be processed in the African country, says the flights are “ready for take off”.
The Mail on Sunday also features Victoria Beckham as it promotes its own two-page spread of coverage of the star’s birthday party (where apparently her Spice Girls bandmates reunited “at last”). Elsewhere on the front page the paper uses the word “beleaguered” about deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner amid more revelations about her property paperwork. Ms Rayner has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to her property sales and capital gains tax payments.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that there are calls for Met Police chief, Sir Mark Rowley, to resign. The paper says that former home secretary Suella Braverman is among those calling for him to stand down. It’s the paper’s second day of coverage on the accusations of antisemitism that the Met are facing.
A bit of showbiz gossip is splashed across the front page of the Sunday Mirror. The paper says that Simon Cowell plans to heal a rift between him and former X-Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, after they publicly slated him while appearing in Celebrity Big Brother.
The Sun on Sunday leads on a story about Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman, who has previously gone public with the fact that both of her children were fathered by England footballer Kyle Walker. The paper claims that she will take the two kids to see Walker play in this summer’s European Championships, even though it says Walker’s wife Annie Kilner also plans to attend the tournament with their four children.
The Daily Star’s Sunday offering is a story about an unfortunate nudist, who allegedly almost had his “pecker” pecked off by a seagull. Accompanying the headline is a mocked-up picture of a seagull carrying a sausage in its mouth – a very large saveloy sausage.
