The Sunday newspaper front pages mostly focus on the England election results as more trickled out on Saturday – including the shock Labour win in the West Midlands mayor and Sadiq Khan winning a third term as London mayor. 

Many of the right-leaning newspapers suggest the results highlight the dire state the Conservative Party is in right now, and contend with a possible Tory wipeout at the upcoming general election. 

A couple of tabloids lead on royal news, including disgraced Prince Andrew and the results of a popularity poll regarding King Charles. 

Many of the back pages lead on Manchester City’s and Arsenal’s latest Premier League wins. Liverpool are in action on Sunday and must win if they have any hopes of winning the title. 

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. 

Why Yvonne Ridley is backing Sadiq Khan’s bid for a second #EU referendum … with strings attached for #Scottish independence voters.
