Newspaper headlines: Water bosses a 'disgrace' and Easter honours 'row'

The Daily Telegraph says Rishi Sunak's decision to announce honours outside the usual New Year's or King's Birthday lists will fuel speculation about a possible summer election.

The paper says the move will be seen as an attempt to shore up support, before a possible vote in June or July - though it points out that Downing Street sources insist going to the ballot box in the autumn remains the aim.

Cyber-security experts tell the Times they have serious concerns about a multi-million pound deal for a Chinese company to supply a supercomputer to a government research agency. The Science and Technologies Facilities Council will, the paper says, install a £30m machine at its site in Hartree in Cheshire.

The paper notes that just days ago the Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden said Beijing had been behind a malicious attack on the Electoral Commission. A government spokesman tells the paper that the super-computer was procured following a robust process.

The Guardian leads on the order made by the International Court of Justice, for Israel to allow unimpeded delivery of food aid into Gaza. The paper describes the ruling as a "significant" legal rebuke to Israel's claim that it is not blocking aid - but it notes that Israel has said it needs to inspect every shipment to make none of the contents can benefit Hamas.

"Rayner on the Ropes" is the Daily Mail's headline. The paper says Labour is under pressure to "set out the truth" about what tax advice Angela Rayner received about the sale of her council house a decade ago. She denies underpaying tax on a property she sold before becoming an MP.

Also focusing on Ms Rayner, the Times says she is under "renewed pressure" after Stockport Council said it would review suggestions she had committed electoral or tax fraud. The Times explains that a Conservative Party deputy chair James Daly wrote to Stockport Council asking it to investigate whether Ms Rayner had been misleading about her living arrangements. The council has told the paper it's "reviewing the questions put to us". Ms Rayner has insisted she has done nothing wrong.

The Daily Mirror says a government report will call for venues to be made safer against possible terror attacks following a campaign by the mother of one of the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing. The Home Office document is expected to propose that venue staff have counter-terror training, and that bosses carry out stringent risk analysis. Figen Murray - whose son Martyn Hett died in the attack in 2017 - tells the Mirror the move is a victory for her son's legacy.
