'Starmer may send drones to the Gulf' and 'Panic hits the pumps'

The Sunday Times says a victim of Jeffrey Epstein has claimed she was trafficked by him to Mohamed Al-Fayed. The woman claims she was "sent" to Al-Fayed on his yacht in St Tropez in "about 1997" and was sexually assaulted. The paper says it is the "first such connection to be reported between the late sex offenders".

"Over a barrel", declares the Observer, as it leads on the oil crisis caused by the conflict in the Middle East. "We will fight to keep bills down", is the message from the energy secretary, Ed Miliband, in the Sunday Mirror. He tells the paper "it's important readers know we are going to fight their corner".

The Sunday Telegraph says Sir Keir Starmer could send thousands of intercepter drones to the Middle East. They are currently being manufactured in the UK for Ukraine to deploy against Russia. Military officials are now reportedly looking at whether the intercepters could be used to bolster the UK's defences against Iran's Shahed drones.

According to the Sunday Express, a record number of migrants have applied for British citizenship since Labour, the Conservatives and Reform UK vowed to crack down on welfare handouts for foreign nationals. Almost 292,000 applications were lodged with the Home Office last year - up from about 250,000 in 2024.

The Sunday Times reports that by next spring it will be possible to walk all 2,700 miles of the English coastline. The project has involved creating more than 1,000 miles of new path as well as building bridges and boardwalks and removing stiles. "From soaring cliffs to expansive beaches", the Sunday Times says, the English coastline "is a jewel in the nation's crown".

"A game that had so many stunning moments that it beggared belief", is how the Sunday Telegraph describes last night's Six Nations finale between England and France. The Sun on Sunday says England went down "all guns blazing". The Mail on Sunday describes the match as an "instant classic" with France's last-gasp winning penalty "a dagger to English hearts". The Sunday Times asks: "Was this rugby's greatest game?"
