The Papers: Chancellor 'warns' supermarkets and 'own goal'
John Healey's vow to crackdown on grocery "price gouging" and the Fifa World Cup scandal dominate Sunday's front pages.
Chancellor John Healey has warned that the ongoing Iran war will lead to more cost-of-living pain for the public, but he assures that he will take "hands-on" action to protect consumers from being "ripped off" when purchasing essential groceries or fuel. According to the Sunday Telegraph, Nigel Farage reached a deal to reclaim the leadership of Reform UK months ahead of the 2024 General Election, a move he had previously denied, and sources claim negotiations took place between March and April 2024.
The Sunday Times reports that tens of thousands of migrants crossed into the Spanish territory of Ceuta, driven by claims of an easy route to Europe, potentially fueled by social media promises. A Spanish soldier photographed assisting two migrants who collapsed from exhaustion highlights the dangers of the journey. In a harrowing account, The Sun on Sunday features Mohammed Mounsessef, a 26-year-old who swam for 40 minutes with a backpack to reach Ceuta, expressing his desire to start a new life in the UK.
Meanwhile, former Fifa president Gianni Infantino faces mounting pressure to resign following the failure of his plan to sell World Cup stakes, as described by the Sunday Telegraph and further emphasized by the Sunday Mirror in its headline describing his journey as "own goal."
