“Shocking hypocrisy of Labour” and Wallace whistleblower

“Shocking hypocrisy of Labour” and Wallace whistleblower

The headline in the Mail on Sunday reads: Minister's winter fuel heating bill is being paid by you

A wide variety of stories compete for attention on the Sunday front. Politics leads The Mail on Sunday as it reports on Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall claiming energy costs on her second property. The papers contrast this with the elimination of winter fuel payments for many pensioners. “Kendall was branded a hypocrite” for dropping the payment, the newspaper reported.

The Sunday Mirror headline reads: Families agonize as missing persons rise

The first day of Advent is the perfect time for the Sunday Mirror to launch its own charity Christmas appeal, highlighting the large number of families across the UK who are facing the festive season without their loved ones. The paper reports that more than 75,000 children were reported missing in a 12-month period and “the crisis has inspired our Christmas appeal”, which will donate funds to a charity which aims to reconnect people.

The headline in the Sunday Telegraph reads: We blew Wallace but nothing was done

The Sunday Telegraph leads the way with new allegations about TV presenter Gregg Wallace. Under the headline “We blew Wallace, but nothing was done,” the paper talks to a former producer who worked with Wallace on the show Eat Well For Less. She says her concerns about his “inappropriate” behavior were “ignored.” Wallace’s lawyers say it is completely false that he is engaging in sexual harassment. The image featured prominently alongside that report shows a Syrian rebel waving a flag victoriously near the steps of the Citadel in the ancient city of Aleppo, marking the rebel forces that have taken control of the city.

The Sunday Times headline reads: Dead bill puts pressure on courts and NHS

The Sunday Times is on the front page with continued coverage of the assisted dying vote in parliament on Friday. It reports that measures to legalize assisted dying “will overshadow the government’s priorities”, according to unnamed ministers. In addition to this report, The Times also features the story of the allegations about Gregg Wallace’s behavior, which is linked to a picture of Aasmah Mir, who the newspaper emailed BBC executives about her concerns.

The headline in the Sunday People reads: TV Show Gregg Hotline

The Sunday People is another covering the Gregg Wallace allegations, but includes another big telly story – that Strictly Come Dancing’s Sarah Hadland is working on a script for a new comedy.

The headline in the Sun says: Corrie sacked me for a sexual lie

Leading the Sun has a story about Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson, who was recently cleared by the police for what the paper describes as “an unsubstantiated historical sex claim”. In the article, Wilson, who played Martin Platt, reflects that “my whole world was destroyed.”

The headline in the Daily Star reads: The cursed picture is at it again

The story of a ‘spine-chilling’ portrait leads the front page of the Daily Star on Sunday. It is reported that the painting – which had three previous owners who returned it to a charity shop after ghostly events – now haunts its new owners at a tourist attraction, but for the safety of any unwitting front-page browsers, the paper is hiding the location up to page five.
