Labour 'heating bill hypocrisy' and Wallace whistleblower

A number of the papers look ahead to Sir Keir Starmer's speech on Thursday when he is expected to set targets in key policy areas. Writing in the Sun on Sunday the Prime Minister says the milestones will enable the public to track his government's progress, while at the same time ensuring that "the attention and resources of the government are focused relentlessly on delivering real and meaningful change." He also warns that there will be "obstacles and blockers" and says that focusing the machinery of government can be like turning an oil tanker.

The Observer says his speech will include milestones to cut NHS waiting lists and crime and improve living standards and early years education. The paper describes the announcement as a gamble designed to draw a line under the prime minister's bumpy first few months in office, although Downing Street strongly denies that the address is intended to be a "reset."

The Sunday Express says many Labour MPs see the speech as an admission that the government has failed to get its message across. One of them said the government had introduced measures that the public supports, such as improving workers' rights, but the communication had been terrible, adding all voters know about is the bad things.

According to the Sunday Times, some Cabinet ministers are concerned that Sir Keir's targets could be eclipsed by the legalisation of assisted dying. They say the change would increase pressure on the most broken public services, namely the justice system and the NHS.

Several papers are reporting that the BBC was warned about inappropriate behaviour by the MasterChef presenter, Gregg Wallace, years ago, but failed to stop it. A producer, Georgia Harding, who worked on the programme between 2014 and 2015, tells the Sunday Telegraph that "nothing was done" when she raised concerns. She describes the attitude as "oh, that's Gregg". Mr Wallace's lawyers say any suggestion that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature is entirely false.

The Express says Britain's armed forces have ordered 37 million pounds' worth of uniforms from China, in what critics have described as a "needless risk to national security." The paper says the kit includes fire-retardant overalls for the Navy and combat gear for special forces and frontline infantry units, which have been treated specially to reduce a soldier's visibility to radar on the battlefield. A Ministry of Defence spokesperson says when suppliers source textiles from China, "strict rules must be adhered to".

The Sunday Times highlights speculation that Elon Musk could donate £76m to Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. The paper says the aim would be to transform British politics by obliterating the Conservatives as the main challenger to Labour, but the donation would also open the door to near-limitless anti-government adverts from Reform UK.

And the Sunday Mirror leads on its Christmas appeal on behalf of the charity, Missing People, to help thousands of families facing a festive season without loved ones. The paper says a record number of people are being reported missing, including 75,000 children in a year.
