22 minutes ago Warning: Saturday's paper review contains spoilers for The Celebrity Traitors. The FT Weekend leads its coverage with the headline "Binance rush to recover stolen $6bn" looking at what it describes as the "largest heist in history". The "world's dominant crypto exchange" was apparently targeted by hackers from North Korea, the paper reports.
Chancellor John Healey is seeking to "cut bill for turning off turbines when grid cannot cope", the Times says in its lead front page story. The paper describes it as a "shift from Labour's pledge to decarbonise all Britain's power supplies by 2030" as the government prioritises cutting power bills. The Guardian carries an exclusive report on Andy Burnham going "further than any previous Prime Minister towards offering a formal apology for Britain's role in the transatlantic slave trade".
It says Burnham is "open to calls for an official apology on behalf of the state and offered formal talks". Leaning into Halloween and the spooky season, the Daily Star runs the headline "It's Wayne WOOONEY" for a piece in which the former England star claims to have seen the character Slimer from Ghostbusters on his window sill. A large photo of King Charles III sniffing a flower held by a smiling woman features on the front of the Daily Telegraph, but its main story is about Labour MPs calling for welfare reform.
The paper says Burnham risks losing the support of Red Wall constituencies if he does not look at cutting the "benefits bill". The Daily Mail has a front page splash reporting that it has uncovered a "stash of child pornography" in a storage unit rented by Thomas Markle in Mexico. The father of the Duchess of Sussex has denied allegations that he had possessed images of child abuse.
The front of the Sun also carries a large story about Thomas Markle, saying the FBI have been called "over vile lock-up" after another "'child abuse stash'" was found in Mexico. Markle denies the allegations against him and has called them "sick lies". In what it bills as a "royal exclusive", the Daily Mail centres its front page on a story about Zara Tindall, the King's niece and "eco campaigner", "flogging pink diamonds from a mine at the centre of a huge pollution row".
The Daily Express runs a large headline saying "Better cancer care for every patient" for an exclusive about increased mental health support that came after a campaign run by the paper. The Independent front page features a large photo of Christa Pike, the US prisoner who is speaking out after her botched execution. Under the photo of Pike is a large headline that reads "Police investigate Andrew's Balmoral visits with Epstein".
The prime minister's "Budget bounce" leads the weekend edition of the i Paper, which breaks down some recent polling and points to growing enthusiasm for Britain to "rejoin EU". Related Internet Links
