The Metro leads on the general election, as the first day of campaigning got underway. The paper says the election announcement had the feel of a 90s romcom.
Rishi Sunak stood outside 10 Downing Street in the torrential rain, sharing his feelings and begging voters for one last chance to make things right.
The pint-sized Prime Minister was drenched and humiliated as D: Ream’s hit song – and New Labour anthem – Things Can Only Get Better, blasted so loud from a nearby protestor’s speaker that he was drowned out in every sense of the word.
There may not have been four weddings, but it was certainly a funeral for Sunak’s political career. He is Prime Minister in all but name. He knows it, and so do we. Labour are going to win that General Election in six weeks time – that’s inevitable.
Elsewhere, the paper offers up its review of the new Romeo & Juliet West End play starring Tom Holland.
