Sunday Papers - Liz Truss returns to political front line
There’s a variety of stories leading the Sunday papers – including an exclusive with former prime minister Liz Truss who speaks to the Sunday Telegraph about her 44 days in office. Several other papers lead with UK political news, whilst the latest from the Nicola Bulley missing person case and Prince Harry also finds space on several front pages.
The Sunday Telegraph leads with Liz Truss. The former PM is pictured sitting on a desk looking relaxed. Truss told the paper she was brought down as PM by the “left-wing economic establishment.” She said successive Tory governments didn’t lay the groundwork for what she sought to do – because they failed to argue for a lower-tax, more deregulated economy. She criticised what she calls a “concerted effort by international actors” – including US President Joe Biden and the IMF – to challenge her plans for growth. Reflecting on her time in office, she says “soul-searching has not been easy”.
The Sunday Times reports the PM is preparing to pull the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights – if judges in Strasbourg fail to back the government’s changes to immigration laws. The Times says the PM’s plans will “push the boundaries of what is legally possible.”
The Observer reports that only a quarter of the hospital construction projects promised by Boris Johnson have secured full planning permission. It says a pledge of 40 new hospitals was “at the heart” of the Conservatives’ 2019 manifesto – with ministers “repeatedly” claiming they’d be delivered by 2030 – but an investigation shows only 10 don’t face further planning scrutiny.
