Monday’s papers have a mix of leads, including follow ups on a controversial attack ad campaign by the Labour Party on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. An advert on social media by the party last week said the prime minister did not believe “adults convicted of sexually assaulting children” should go to prison. The Times’ front page reports Labour is planning more “provocative and aggressive” adverts, blaming Mr Sunak “for crashing the economy and for soaring mortgage and council tax rates”.
