The Sunday People highlights the disruption caused by shifting kick-off times, while the Sunday Mirror reports on the frustrations of publicans managing staff and earnings amid the scheduling uncertainty. Meanwhile, The Sun notes that England captain Harry Kane is encouraging fans to celebrate if the team progresses, and the Daily Star reports that German fans may be lending their support to the English squad.
Political headlines focus on Andy Burnham, with the Mail on Sunday reporting that the expected prime minister is allegedly planning a “mansion tax” that could impact 150,000 households. The Sunday Telegraph highlights a warning from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change against proposed increases to capital gains tax, cautioning that such a move would be poorly timed.
Other reports include allegations in the Sunday Times that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage failed to disclose financial support for staff and security from a donor with a criminal history, claims which a spokesperson for Farage has dismissed as baseless. The Sunday Express criticizes the high-speed rail project HS2 for spending £77.8 million on consultants, and the Observer examines the financial gains associated with Donald Trump’s presidency.
