Almost all of Friday’s front pages report on the first day of the general election campaigning. Rishi Sunak is pictured in most papers after his disastrous election announcement.

Many also slammed the prime minister’s decision to give the announcement outside in the rain with protesters blasting music over the prime minister – not great optics for the government.
