Boris Johnson faces unrest within Conservative ranks over plans to raise national insurance, the papers say.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that Boris Johnson is facing unrest within Conservative ranks over proposals to raise national insurance, a move which has been labelled "idiotic" by senior figures. The paper says that Mr Johnson is set to insist that the increase is vital to save the NHS. The Sunday Telegraph says it understands that the prime minister will try to justify the increase as necessary to clear the backlog of patients on hospital waiting lists.
Michael Fawcett has stood down temporarily as chief executive of The Prince's Foundation, the paper continues, alleging that Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz paid thousands of pounds to people with links to Prince Charles who told the Saudi businessman that they could secure an honour. He was appointed a CBE in 2016 and has denied any wrongdoing. A spokesman for The Prince's Foundation told the paper the organization is investigating the allegations.
