Browsing: The Sun

The Sun is a British tabloid newspaper. It is a right-wing Conservative Party supporting newspaper that is also eurosceptic. The Sun has been involved in many controversies in its history.

The paper carries an exclusive claiming former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich “played a key role” in negotiating the release. The paper says the Russian billionaire welcomed the five men onto a plane taking them from Russia to Saudi Arabia, giving them phones so they could contact their families.

The Sun says there is good news and “Vlad news” from the war in Ukraine, with British prisoners of war being released but Putin threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Under the headline “good news, Vlad news”, the Sun reports that among the five were Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, who had been “sentenced to death by a Kremlin-backed kangaroo court” in occupied areas of eastern Ukraine. The paper says the group, which also includes a captured aid worker, landed safely in Saudi Arabia after the “surprise deal”.

The Sun reports that Holly Willoughby is fighting to keep her TV job after claims she skipped the Queen’s lying-in-state queue. “Queue jump Holly” is how the paper describes the ITV This Morning presenter. The paper says the petition is “gaining momentum despite an on-air apology” on Tuesday, with sources close to the embattled presenter telling the paper she is “utterly devastated” over the row.

The Sun also opts for a full wrap, with the front page photo dedicated to the procession carrying the Queen to her final resting place in Windsor. Under the headline “We sent her victorious,” the paper describes the funeral as “the biggest farewell in history, while its black back cover merely says “God bless the Queen” and “God save the King”.
