Sunday Papers - Rishi Sunak warned over Nadhim Zahawi
A variety of stories lead Sunday’s papers. The papers were sent to print before the announcement that Nadhim Zahawi has been sacked by the prime minister following his tax scandal.
The Observer reports the PM was warned of a reputational risk to the government when he appointed Nadhim Zahawi as Conservative Party Chairman last October. According to The Sunday Telegraph, support for Mr Zahawi among senior Tories is “rapidly draining away”. One unnamed cabinet colleague is calling for him to resign, telling the paper “I think he’s got to go”.
The Sunday Times leads on an interview with Michael Gove, who tells them that government guidance on building materials was partly to blame for the Grenfell Tower disaster.
The Independent leads with its own analysis of official figures, saying on average, a person is killed every three days by an offender out of prison on probation in England and Wales. Over the six years to 2020, the paper says there were more than 600 reviews of alleged murders by re-offenders.
The Observer reports the claims of a whistleblower who worked at an asylum hotel run by the Home Office. The source reports that unaccompanied children at the hotel were regularly threatened with violence and subjected to racist abuse by staff.

Trump team leaks – USMNT poor performance under scrutiny | USA Live News Briefing
Many of the American headlines are focused on the huge blunder from Trump’s top team after a journalist was accidently added to a private chat where bombing Yemen was discussed. Plenty of headlines have come from the group chat leak, including a clear understanding of just how much the US officials hate Europe, their plans to bomb Houthis and JD Vance’s disagreement with Trump.
There are reactions to the poor performance of the USMNT in the Nations League. It’s been a really bad few months for the team and sports pundits and fans are sharing their concerns ahead of the 2026 World Cup – in which the US is one of three hosts. The poor attendance at the matches have also been highlighted.
Secret group chat leak has US officials in hot water – JD blasts ‘pathetic’ Europe – Bombing Yemen plans – USMNT concerns
Most of the American headlines (and global) are reporting on the massive blunder from Trump’s team when a left-wing journalist was accidentally added to a group chat. The chat was leaked – as were some juicy details, which is leading many headlines in print and online. From plans to bomb Yemen’s Houthis to calling Europe ‘pathetic’ the leak has led to calls for a probe and questions over national security protocols.
Elsewhere, the USMNT has finished fourth in the Nations League – fourth out of just four teams. For those looking ahead to the World Cup, the bigger concern was over the poor attendance at the USA matches over the Nations League, with more questions arising about how the USA (along with Canada and Mexico) will fare in hosting the 2026 tournament.
