Sunday Papers – Cabinet split over NHS pay, Girl shot at funeral
There are a variety of stories leading the Sunday front pages. One of the most popular talking points this morning is the NHS, as Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer pledges to slash “mind-boggling” NHS bureaucracy, and a split in the Cabinet over NHS pay rises appears.
An image of the street – lined with police tape – where a little girl was shot outside of a Church after attending a funeral is featured on several papers. Both the Sun on Sunday and the Sunday Mirror described the incident as “horror.”
Some of the papers cover the Only Fools and Horses actor, Nicholas Lyndhurst, joining the cast of the sequel to the US sitcom Frasier. He’s due to play Alan Cornwall, an old college friend of Frasier who is now a university professor.
