The National front page this morning – 01 December 2024
AT one point during Alex Salmond’s memorial service, I saw the organist return following one of the speeches with a cup of tea and he got ready to play again.
It struck me that I, like he, was doing a job in a room full of people who were grieving. They were there to mark an occasion, as we were there to provide a service.
‘Gregg Wallace backlash’ & ‘Airstrikes in Syria’ – Paper Talk UK
Monday’s front pages lead with the ongoing backlash facing MasterChef host Gregg Wallace. The fallout over allegations of misconduct has spiralled after he dismissed the accusations against him as from “middle-class women of a certain age.”
Wallace has been accused of engaging in sexually harassing behaviour. He denies all allegations.
Several front pages continue their coverage of the assisted dying bill that was passed on Friday. There are also reports on Labour’s NHS plans and a recent poll suggesting the British public favours a closer relationship with the EU than a free trade deal with the US.
On the international front, many papers find space to report on the latest happenings in Syria. The country’s civil war is back in the spotlight after a new rebel coalition launched a surprise attack, sweeping into the country’s second-largest city, Aleppo.
The back pages offer their assessments of last night’s Premier League Super Sunday – with Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City the highlight.
