Newspaper headlines: England make Euro semi-finals, and Rwanda plan ‘dead’

Front page of the Daily Express — Most of Sunday’s front pages lead on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s first day in the job. The Sunday Express reports that Sir Keir has torn up the Tories’ flagship Rwanda deportation plans to send asylum seekers to the central African country. “I’m not prepared to continue with gimmicks,” the paper quotes Sir Keir as saying, as his announcement “finally kills off a failing plan launched more than two years ago”, the paper adds.

The Observer leads on Sir Keir’s first cabinet meeting, as he stressed he was “restless for change” and pledged that, under his leadership, politics would return to a duty of service. “Self-interest is yesterday’s politics,” Sir Keir said. The paper goes on to report that the PM has asked staff from hospitals giving incentives to staff who work longer hours to “help set up the model in other hospitals as quickly as we can”.

The Mail on Sunday claims the prime minister will start the process to renegotiate the UK’s post-Brexit deal “within weeks”. The paper cites EU sources as saying Sir Keir is willing to sign the UK back up to some Brussels rules in exchange for more relaxed free movement.

The Sunday Telegraph says Alan Milburn – who was health secretary in Tony Blair’s government between 1999 and 2003 – is set to help Labour reform the NHS as an adviser. The paper describes it as a sign that “private sector and consumer choice will be at the heart of their plans”. A Labour source tells the paper Mr Milburn was “incredibly helpful to Wes [Streeting] and his team” in the weeks leading up to the election, making sure Labour was “ready to hit the ground running”.

The Sunday Times says former PM Tony Blair has warned Sir Keir that he needs a plan for migration. In an article for the paper, Mr Blair says the new government’s focus should be on illegal migration, as it avoids “any vulnerability on wokeism”.
