The Sunday Times leads on the death of former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, who it describes as a “titan of independence”. The paper reports that his successor Nicola Sturgeon hailed her mentor “after the SNP’s ex-leader collapses following a speech abroad”.
The Observer also features a picture of Mr Salmond, who has died aged 69, on its front page. The paper quotes Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who called the late ex first minister a “monumental figure”. But its lead story is about Sir Keir stepping into a “cabinet row to rescue global summit”, following comments about P&O Ferries by Transport Secretary Louise Haigh.
The Sunday Telegraph also devotes its main picture slot to Mr Salmond, but its lead story focuses on what it says are Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s “plans to erect thousands of pylons across Britain” – with the paper reporting that they are being criticised for being a waste of money. Its headline calls the pylons a “net-zero blight”.
The Sun on Sunday leads with a story about the television show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! It says Coleen Rooney, who has been in the spotlight over a high-profile court case against Rebekah Vardy, dubbed ‘Wagatha Christie’, will join the jungle in the “biggest deal in the show’s history”. The paper adds that “(former England footballer) Wayne’s wife will pocket over £1.5m”.
Under the header “Labour sleaze latest”, the Mail on Sunday leads on the story of how Taylor Swift received a police motorcade while she was in London. The paper says the row is “engulfing” the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, headlining on “Law chief ‘pressured’ Met to give Taylor her VIP escort”.
The Sunday Mirror has an exclusive interview with the prime minister. Its headline reads: “Keir: judge me on how we fix Britain”, as it reports that Sir Keir says his government “is just getting started”.
“‘Rapists and thugs’ to get bail” is the headline on the front of the Sunday Express. The paper’s exclusive story reports that judges “may” be forced to free violent suspects as a result of Labour funding cuts.
And the Daily Star Sunday leads on a story about Elvis appearing to his daughter Lisa Marie from beyond the grave. “Elvis has NOT left the building”, according to its headline.
