Politics and royal issues jostle for centre stage on the front pages of Sunday’s newspapers.
The fallout from the Budget continues to feature heavily with The Sunday Telegraph focusing on the threat of blockades at ports and supermarkets by farmers angry at rises in inheritance tax.
The Times also focuses on supermarkets, saying Tesco is facing a £1 billion rise in the company’s national insurance bill.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves features on the front of The Observer, which says she will use a speech to promote free trade, in contrast to tariffs planned by US President-elect Donald Trump.
The Independent also concentrates on politics with ministers accused of “scaremongering” over a refusal to revisit prisoners serving indefinite jail sentences.
Pictures of the Princess of Wales feature on several titles as she appeared at the Festival of Remembrance as she returns to public duties after cancer treatment, The Sun on Sunday declared she is “back on duty”.
The Sunday Express says Kate is ready to accompany her husband on royal duties and overseas tours in the new year.
Royal matters also occupy the Mail On Sunday, which says the Duke of York is facing calls to reveal who has financed him to remain at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
And the Daily Star Sunday says the country is facing a “festive crisis” with a shortage of “fat, bearded men in red suits” to play Father Christmas.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
