Politics

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.

Susan Hall’s campaign trail to become the next London mayor has not been a successful one. The Conservative’s London candidate has been caught up in several embarrassing gaffes in the run-up to the election, including a suspicious story where she claimed to have been pickpocketed on the Tube – but it later appeared she had just lost her purse. 

Brigitte García, Ecuador’s youngest mayor, has been shot dead. The 27-year-old, along with her press officer, was discovered deceased in a car on Sunday in the town of San Vicente, where she had triumphed in the mayoral election just last year.
