The Sunday newspapers prominently feature Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s proposal to eliminate income tax on overtime for workers earning under £75,000 who maintain a 40-hour workweek. The Sunday Express highlights this promise as a clear indication that Farage is positioning himself to directly challenge the Labour Party. Alongside this political story, the newspaper also captures images from the Queen’s Joust competition, coinciding with the UK experiencing its hottest day of the year so far.

Elsewhere, the Observer delves into an unusual conspiracy theory about the 1970 World Cup, where it is alleged that the CIA purposely gave England’s goalkeeper food poisoning to prevent him from playing, an accusation the CIA has not publicly addressed
