UK Sunday Front Pages Highlight Cost of Living, Political Deals, and Crime Stories

There's a mix of stories on Sunday's front pages. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Chancellor John Healey warns supermarkets he will not allow them to take the public "for a ride" because of the Middle East crisis pushing up cost of living. He vowed to crack down on "price-gouging", saying regulators have the the power to "clamp down on it if it happens".

The Sunday Times reports that Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform UK leader months before the 2024 general election. The paper says Farage negotiated the pact in March and April of the year - undermining his claim that he had no intention of returning to politics until June 2024. The paper notes the date of Farage's return to politics has been raised amid questions over whether he needed to declare a £5m gift to Parliament. But it adds that Reform sources say the deal had been drafted for if, not when, Farage became leader.
