Arabic version: صحف الأحد تركز على سياسات بورنهام وستريتينغ

According to BBC News, Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s policy proposals dominate several Sunday newspaper front pages, with the Mail on Sunday leading on criticism from the Conservatives over what it describes as a planned “tax bombshell” on working families.

The Mail on Sunday says Conservatives accuse the PM of “writing cheques British people can’t cash” through a raft of policy pledges. A spokesperson for the PM called the accusations “nonsense” and said all announced policies are “fully funded”. The Sunday Express reports that Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick has warned the PM not to “hammer families with a death tax” before Labour unveils plans to tackle the social care crisis.

The Express says Burnham previously suggested a possible “care levy” to “fix” social care. It reports that the proposal could face fierce opposition if estates that would not previously have been subject to inheritance tax were taxed. The Sunday Times, meanwhile, previews a government devolution announcement expected next week, under which mayors would receive a share of income tax revenue to spend on their cities.

Elsewhere, the Sunday Telegraph reports that new Defence Secretary Wes Streeting wants to repair the UK relationship with US President Donald Trump by working together to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and by pledging to modernise the Armed Forces. The Observer focuses on wildfires in France and Spain, reporting that more than 250,000 people have been evacuated. The Sunday Mirror carries an opinion column by the PM, who says the UK should be a country where “nobody is written off”.
