#AceDailyNews says here’s todays Newspaper Headlines: Well People Today its ALL About #StormFranklin taking firm hold of the UK as High Winds & Heavy Rain Storms Lash The Country With The Third Never Been Known Storm In Row on Sunday more soon
Cyber-Attack WARNING as British interests may be at risk of cyber-attacks from Russia, the home secretary and GCHQ warned in the Sunday Telegraph. Priti Patel outlines her concerns in an article she has written in the paper, while Lindy Cameron, head of GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre, adds a separate piece. Companies and public services are being urged to take “pre-emptive measures” to bolster security against such a cyber assault. The UK is seen as a potential target, given its stance on challenging Russian aggression in recent weeks, the paper adds.
Mrs Patel is also on the front of the Sunday Mirror – albeit for a very different reason. According to the paper, the home secretary is under pressure to act after alleged racist slurs were made by staff at a firm paid by the Home Office. “Vile” WhatsApp messages were allegedly posted by staff who escort migrants and run detention centres, the paper says, which adds that the matter is being investigated.
The Sunday Times’ lead story is on what it calls the “wealthy donors” who have the prime minister’s ear. The paper says thousands of leaked documents show that about a dozen of the most generous Conservative party donors have been invited to frequent meetings with Mr Johnson’s top team – at times when the PM was taking, what the paper calls, “some of the most controversial and difficult decisions ever to have faced a peacetime leader”.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Express leads with the PM’s plans to axe all Covid rules in the coming days. The paper’s headline labels him “Defiant Boris” as it explains that he will push ahead despite some medics warning that the move is “premature”.
Former Liberal Democrat leader and deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg is at the centre of a Whitehall leak inquiry, according to the Mail on Sunday, which reports that ministers are concerned that he has received information about government plans to regulate Facebook. Sir Nick was recently promoted to president of global affairs at Facebook’s owner Meta – a role that puts him on a par with Mark Zuckerberg himself.
Elsewhere, the Sunday People carries a report about comedian Jimmy Carr, who is facing another backlash for jokes he has made – this time about child sex abuse. The paper says “horrified” campaigners have hit out at Carr after he said abuse survivors should move on and laugh about it. Dame Esther Rantzen, who founded Childline, said: “Personally I have never met a survivor who laughed about it or found it funny.”
And the Daily Star Sunday reports that actress and singer Toyah Willcox is being haunted by what it calls a “violent” ghost. Because it is all very unexplained, that gives the paper’s subs a chance to mine Toyah back catalogue for the headline “It’s a mystery” (complete with bloody handprints on the typeface).
The Observer reports that secret talks are under way between Western allies over how to arm what they expect to be fierce Ukrainian resistance in the event of a Russian invasion: It says the degree of military assistance and the extent to which it is overt is still under discussion: The West would not wish to be seen to be fomenting a futile and bloody resistance that was risking a wider conflict between Nato and Russia, the paper adds.
BBC News:
The Sunday Telegraph leads on warnings by Home Secretary Priti Patel and the head of the National Cyber Security Centre that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be preparing a cyber assault on British interests – and companies and public services should take “pre-emptive measures” to defend themselves.
It says Britain is seen to be a potential target, having taken a leading role in calling out Mr Putin’s aggression – and threatening severe consequences in the event of any invasion.

According to the Sunday Times, thousands of leaked documents show that about a dozen of the most generous Conservative Party donors have been granted access to senior ministers and advisers during the pandemic.
It says that, as Boris Johnson was taking controversial and difficult decisions, some of Britain’s wealthiest people were given unique opportunities to question his team and offer their views on the government’s direction.
A Conservative spokesman tells the paper that, on occasion, senior Tory politicians – just like senior Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians – do in fact attempt to raise funds for their party.
The Mail on Sunday reports that the former deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg – now a senior executive at Facebook – is at the centre of a Whitehall leak inquiry after ministers raised concerns he was receiving secret information about government proposals to regulate the tech giant.
It says Whitehall officials fear he is being fed sensitive details about what is being planned, and have launched a major hunt for the suspected mole.
For its lead, the Sunday Mirror says the Home Office has ordered an investigation into racist slurs made by staff at a firm it pays to run detention centres and remove migrants from Britain.
According to the paper, the WhatsApp messages were posted by workers at Mitie.
A whistleblower tells the paper: “Casual racism amongst workers towards those they are supposed to look after is disgusting.”
The paper says the company has suspended some staff.
Finally, retailers are trying to tempt online shoppers back to their stores with what the Sunday Times calls “immersive experiences”.
On offer at various department stores are breathing exercise classes, tutorials on mastering a homemade pizza, an après ski bar and an art installation.
The paper says there are also boxing and yoga classes, gin tasting and baking workshops for children.
A director at one leading department store chain explains: “Shops need to be destinations and offer something that can’t be experienced online.”
