'Power to block nimby protests' and Meghan 'deal could be off'
BBC
Prime Minister Andy Burnham will give mayors the power to "block nimby protests," according to the Times. This will allow them to "force through plans to build houses, tower blocks and skyscrapers" and "overrule councils". Also on its front page, friends of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tell the Times that the couple's move to the UK "may only be for a year".
The Sun on Sunday continues reporting on Prince Harry and Meghan's return to the UK. It says an apparent deal for the duchess to star in Netflix series The Gentlemen is worth £1m but the "big deal could be off". The paper also reports on a "wrong-way crash horror" when seven people including two police officers were killed near Middlesbrough.
A poll carried out by the Mail on Sunday suggests "just 4%" believe the Prince of Wales "should make first move in peace talks" with his brother Prince Harry. It also says "Meghan's TV comeback has been canned", attributing the information to a "top royal author".
The Sunday People reports the "wrong way crash horror", describing how a car drove in the "opposite direction down dual carriageway". It carries a picture of a line of police vehicles at the crash site.
"I'm the Duke of Su$$ex" reads the Daily Star's front page headline, spotlighting a Prince Harry lookalike. The paper says Rhys Wittock is "delighted that the royal is returning to the UK" and that the "Harry double cashes in".
According to the Sunday Telegraph, "Iranian hackers shut UK power plant". The attack saw the plant closed for four days, it reports, in what is said to be the "most successful cyber attack of its kind". The paper writes that the outage had "no impact on the UK's wider power supply". In further reporting on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it says there is "no guarantee of royal Christmas for Harry and Meghan".
The Sunday Express highlights "rural campaigners' fears" with the headline: "PM must come clean on homes for green belt." It says a video has emerged of Burnham while he was mayor of Greater Manchester, in which he said it was not possible to protect all of the green belt because "houses have to go somewhere". Now, the Express says he "must rule out" new builds on green belt land "or face the fury of campaigners and homemakers".
In a football exclusive, Trent Alexander-Arnold tells the Sunday Mirror of the online abuse he received after leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid which "crossed the line". The headline reads "Trent: My heartache".
