PAPER TALK

The Sunday Papers focus heavily on the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, in particular the chaos at Kabul airport. The former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair’s comments on the chaos also make many front pages. The former PM called the decision to withdraw US, UK and Nato troops ‘imbecilic’. The papers pick up on the ex-PM’s heavy criticism of US President Joe Biden’s handling of US troops in particular.

The Sun on Sunday is one of few papers to lead with a story not related to Afghanistan, as it says the royal family are preparing to fight back against Prince Harry and Meghan.
