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.

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.
