The Observer is leading the story about Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, who it says has launched a “competition for Number 10.” The photo of her and Sir Keir facing off has been titled “Heated Rivalry,” which references the popular television show about romance between two Canadian ice hockey players, as well as the “intense rivalry” within the Labour Party.
The Sunday Times says Burnham has “contested” running in the Gordon and Denton by-election. The mayor shared his “difficult decision” in a letter posted on Twitter. Also on the front of the Times, there is a photo of tear gas being fired into the air from Minneapolis as “another death occurs in Minnesota clashes.”
The Sunday Telegraph says Sir Keir faces a “civil war” within Labour after Burnham’s bid for a by-election. It also reveals that the man stalking the Duke of Sussex “followed him in court last week” as he took part in his privacy trial against the publisher of the Daily Mail.
The Mail also featured the headline “Starmer’s corner” regarding the latest developments in the “Labour Civil War”. The “embattled” Prime Minister must decide whether to “block” Burnham or confront a leadership challenge. And there’s more on the Beckhams as Victoria “hits back at the dance” that her son Brooklyn said was “inappropriate” at their wedding.
The Sun reported on Sunday that Trump’s retreat has dealt a blow to the army. The US President hailed British soldiers as “among the greatest warriors the world has ever seen”. The newspaper says it came after King Charles expressed his “concern” to the White House over Trump’s “insults to NATO troops”. And in the particular case of the Beckham family, the Sun says, “The Brooklyn rift has been going on for many years.”
The Daily Star hit out at Trump’s “U-turn” by saying British troops remained off the front lines in Afghanistan, noting that Sir Rod Stewart was among those criticising the “Orange Manbaby”. It is titled with an excerpt from one of his songs: “Have I told you lately that I hate you?”
A former MI6 chief is warning that Russia will “intensify” attacks on Britain as part of an “undeclared war” on the West, the Sunday Express has led. Richard Dearlove told the newspaper that Russia is capable of carrying out “very aggressive” attacks because they “don’t care” about political risk.
“Britain to have its FBI” is the headline in “Police shake-up” in the Sunday People. According to reports, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will announce this tomorrow
