The paper suggests this could involve revisiting the "iron clad" fiscal regulations to allow for greater borrowing. Contributing to the Sunday Telegraph, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer vows to "supercharge initiatives that will enhance our domestic competitiveness". However, the leader in the Sun on Sunday cautions that his words "sound empty" - as British businesses are being hit hard from today with increased employer national insurance contributions.There is an abundance of suggestions for the Prime Minister on how to handle the US tariffs. Taking a cue from the film, Love Actually, a Labour MP tells the Mail on Sunday that Sir Keir "should channel his inner Hugh Grant and stand up to Trump". A pollster quoted by the Sunday Times also supports this stance, indicating that Labour is "naive" if they believe they will gain "any political advantage by pandering to Trump". In the same publication, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urges the Prime Minister to embrace the UK's position as an "independent trading nation".The Sunday Telegraph leads with the news of MP Dan Norris' arrest on suspicion of rape and child sex offences. The paper notes that he has been promptly suspended from the Labour Party pending the investigation by police. The Sun on Sunday reports that he was arrested and questioned on Friday, with officers seen removing boxes from his residence. The Sun has reached out to Mr Norris for comment.Several newspapers highlight the threat from Moscow. The Sunday Times reports that Russian devices suspected of spying on the UK's nuclear submarines have been discovered hidden in British waters, some washing ashore. Advisers in the Mail on Sunday suggest families should prepare a 72-hour survival kit in anticipation of a Russian scheme to disrupt Britain's energy pipelines. The Sunday Expressraises alarm that a system like Israel's Iron Dome would not shield British towns and cities from missile attacks if targeted by Russia."That's my boy", cheers the Sunday Times, celebrating the father-son pair, Willie and Patrick Mullins, for their victory as trainer and jockey in the Grand National at Aintree. In what the Daily Star Sunday heralds as "one of the most remarkable training displays ever" Willie Mullins secured the top three spots in the race, with Nick Rockett crossing the finish line first, followed by I Am Maximus and Grangeclare West. "Sublime", describes Patrick Mullins the winning steed's performance, while the Observer remarks that the champion jockey departed with a grin "bright enough to illuminate all of Liverpool".Sign up for our morning newsletter and get BBC News in your inbox.Related Internet LinksDaily ExpressDaily MailDaily MirrorDaily StarDaily TelegraphFinancial TimesGuardianIndependentMetroSunThe iTimesnews, uk, politics, sports, crime, entertainment
