Browsing: Sunday papers

Editorial 05 May 2024 

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. 

Sunday’s front pages cover a variety of topics, mostly domestic – and for the tabloids, mostly celebrity gossip. 

A few of the papers cover Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday, marked with a private party last night in London.

Sunday’s papers feature various news topics, with most papers already going to print before Iran attacked Israel. Elsewhere, many of the papers feature images from the Australian stabbing attack at a shopping mall which left 6 people – five women and a man – dead and many injured – including a baby. Joel Cauchi, 40, was shot dead by a lone police officer who bravely approached the man. His attack is not thought to be terror-related and it’s been reported that he was known to police. 

Politics makes several of the front pages this Easter Sunday with a couple of headlines reflecting on the latest polling and the general public mood ahead of an expected November election.
