It’s been a tough Easter for the Labour Party with 20 councillors across three councils, including the council leader, quitting as they accuse the national party of taking a “draconian” shift and using “bullying tactics.” 

Monday’s front pages feature a variety of mostly political news, but almost all of them carry a picture of King Charles attending an Easter church service on Sunday. The papers note that it’s the most significant public appearance since the King revealed his cancer diagnosis. Prince William and Princess Kate – and their children – did not attend the service following the shock announcement of Princess Kate’s cancer. 

The NHS, politics, the war in Gaza, and the latest results from the Premier League also make the front splashes. 

Republican congressman Tim Walberg of Michigan has made shocking remarks suggesting that rather than providing humanitarian aid to Gaza, the US should consider subjecting it to nuclear bombing akin to “Nagasaki and Hiroshima” at the end of World War II.

Politics makes several of the front pages this Easter Sunday with a couple of headlines reflecting on the latest polling and the general public mood ahead of an expected November election. 

Several of Friday’s front pages lead on the mess of Thames Water – Britain’s largest water provider. Lawmakers across the political spectrum have criticised the company’s bosses for the financial mess it is in amid talks that the company could be nationalised.

Several papers lead on UK political news, with PM Rishi Sunak and Labour’s Angela Rayner both reportedly ‘coming under fire’ recently, Sunak for honouring a top Tory donor and Rayner for her controversial property dealings. There’s also a look ahead to the upcoming general election. 

Thursday’s front pages carry various stories – mostly domestic news. Several of the papers report on UK politics, with speculation on a summer general election. There’s coverage of the backlash from the raw sewage spills, and King Charles’s upcoming Easter message.
A few of the tabloids lead on celebrity news, but all-in-all there isn’t much unity on the front pages this morning.
