Newspaper headlines: ‘Agony for Arsenal’ and ‘5 cops axed’ at Kensington Palace

The headline on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph reads: “Benefits checks watered down”.

Similarly, the Sunday Telegraph is dominated by an image of an emotional Gabriel, and reads: “Arsenal’s Champions League dream dies”. It leads with a story accusing UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of “watering down” checks on welfare benefits claimants, as new rules come into effect this week which will allow people to receive a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for four years after their initial assessment, and then a further six years after a review. The paper says claimants face reviews as often as every nine months under the current system. It writes that officials are warning that urgent changes to the welfare assessment system are needed, with the record number of people claiming PIPs costing the British taxpayer £26bn a year.
