The Guardian – Sunak begins election campaign by abandoning flagship policies
The Guardian leads on the first day of the general election campaign. Rishi Sunak has dropped flagship policies on deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda and banning smoking for young people on the first full day of his election campaign, leaving his legacy increasingly threadbare, the paper writes.
Sunak is pictured on the front page stepping off a plane – as he touched down in Wales for a whistlestop tour.
