Sunday papers - Secret Brexit meeting & BBC scandal undermines impartiality
There’s a variety of stories dominating the front pages. Many of the papers feature an image of last night’s Brit awards.
What’s on the front pages of the Sunday papers?
The Times leads with the BBC scandal, leading with the finding of the parliamentary committee that looked into Richard Sharp. The paper says “Chairman has undermined trust in BBC” and they are “likely to heap pressure” on him. The Independent says Mr Sharp’s hopes of surviving what it calls the “cash for Boris row” appear “doomed”. The paper says the findings have damaged his reputation.
The Observer claims the controversy has “caused serious anger within the BBC.” Senior figures within the corporation tell the paper it has “seriously undermined its impartiality”.
Brexit takes the lead on the front page of the Observer – the paper say “an extraordinary cross-party summit bringing together leavers and remainers” has been held in secret.
Whilst the Sunday Telegraph has space on its front page to report the UK could “snub” the EU’s flagship Horizon research scheme if the bloc refuses to agree to Britain’s post-Brexit terms of membership.
The Sunday Express leads on a plea from the family of James Bulger on the 30th anniversary of the toddler’s death.
The Sun on Sunday leads with a story about missing woman Nicola Bulley. The paper says a witness told police “he spotted two men acting suspiciously close to Nicola Bulley’s dog-walk route the day before she disappeared”.
