Sunday papers - Secret Brexit meeting & BBC scandal undermines impartiality
There’s a variety of stories dominating the front pages. Many of the papers feature an image of last night’s Brit awards.
What’s on the front pages of the Sunday papers?
The Times leads with the BBC scandal, leading with the finding of the parliamentary committee that looked into Richard Sharp. The paper says “Chairman has undermined trust in BBC” and they are “likely to heap pressure” on him.

The Observer claims the controversy has “caused serious anger within the BBC.” Senior figures within the corporation tell the paper it has “seriously undermined its impartiality”.
Brexit takes the lead on the front page of the Observer – the paper say “an extraordinary cross-party summit bringing together leavers and remainers” has been held in secret.
