'£7m tax bill for William' and 'Traitors take their places' The Sunday Telegraph reports that previously loyal supporters of the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, on Labour's ruling body, the NEC, are no longer prepared to block Andy Burnham from returning to Parliament.

The mayor of Greater Manchester was prevented by NEC officers from standing in the Gorton and Denton by-election in February but sources have told the paper "the mood has now changed", with one unnamed member of the NEC saying "Keir looks much less worth defending".

The Sun on Sunday says the prime minister will refuse to resign even if approached and asked to do so by senior Labour figures should the forthcoming local election results be bad for the party.

An ally of Sir Keir is quoted as saying "he will stay and fight a leadership contest if he has to".

Amid talk of a leadership challenge, Sir Keir has urged Labour not to repeat the Conservative Party's mistake of "descending into political infighting". Writing in the Observer, the prime minister warns against sinking into the politics of "grievance and division".

The Sunday Mirror says a mystery driver in North London has amassed more than a quarter of a million pounds in fines for breaching Low Traffic Neighbourhood restrictions.

The Mail on Sunday writes that "the BBC has been accused of a scandalous cover-up following claims a presenter broke the wrist of one of his female colleagues in a physical altercation".

The paper says the alleged incident is believed to have occurred in 2014 and both of the unnamed staff members have since left the broadcaster.
