The Sunday Times says Sir Keir Starmer will "water down" the UK's electric vehicle sales targets. The paper understands a requirement for 80% of new car sales to be electric by 2030, will instead be reduced to 50%. It calls the change a "blow" to the net-zero agenda of Energy Secretary Ed Miliband.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, uses an article in the Sunday Mirror to accuse successive governments of turning a "deaf ear" to what matters most to voters. He says if he returns to Parliament by winning the Makerfield by-election on Thursday, he will "make sure they hear us loud and clear". The Mirror's editorial calls it a "Maker break vote for all of us", and argues a victory for Burnham will see off what it calls "the divisive politics of Reform".

But the Mail on Sunday argues "Reform UK is the only sensible way to vote". The paper's lead story focuses on Reform's right-wing rivals, Restore Britain, saying party activists attended a summit of white supremacists. A spokesperson for Restore calls the story "totally irrelevant" and a "hit piece". A full list of candidates for the Makerfield by-election is available on the BBC News website.

The fallout from John Healey's resignation as defence secretary is picked over by several papers. Al Carns, who quit as armed forces minister hours after his boss, has written a piece for the Sunday Telegraph. He argues that security is no longer purely about the military, but energy as well, and says a "serious country" would use all sources of power, including North Sea oil and gas. Sir Keir Starmer's biographer, Tom Baldwin, writes in the Observer that the prime minister's work ethic endures despite the resignations. He says Sir Keir "has extraordinary qualities" and that "we may yet miss them" if he is removed.

The Sunday Express says more than 100,000 failed asylum seekers are feared to be living in Britain illegally because they have not yet been deported. The paper cites its own analysis and that of Oxford University's Migration Observatory. The Home Office calls the figures "misleading".

Bran flakes will be deemed junk food under government health plans, according to the Telegraph. It highlights concerns by food giants that labelling thousands of products that contain natural sugars as unhealthy will push consumers away from cereals that are good for the gut. A government spokesperson tells the paper that previous nutrition rules were 20 years old and did not reflect the latest dietary advice.

"What a save" declares the Sun on Sunday, revealing that the kit of the England football captain Harry Kane has been recovered after it was stolen in the US. "Shoe are ya?" quips the Sunday People, which says Kane's boots were among the items robbed.
