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.

Prayer ban victory for Britain’s strictest school & MPs back UK smoking ban – Paper Talk
Wednesday’s newspaper front pages feature a variety of stories, with no strong lead dominating the papers. There are a few hot topics, mostly domestic stories, splashed across several papers.
For a couple of the right-leaning tabloids, the news that a Muslim pupil has lost a High Court challenge brought against her school in North London, over a ban on prayer rituals, is celebrated on the front splashes.
The planned smoking ban, which passed its first hurdle in the Commons yesterday, is also reported on. Some papers look at the health benefits of a smoking ban, others report on it being “un-conservative.” Several papers pick up on the 165 Tory MPs who abstained from voting – suggesting PM Rishi Sunak’s party is fracturing.
Elsewhere, there’s room for more UK and international political stories including the ongoing Middle East crisis and US inflation.
