Boris Johnson has been accused of ignoring warnings about Chris Pincher's alleged sexual misconduct, reports the Sunday Telegraph. The paper says that the prime minister's decision to appoint Mr Pincher as deputy chief whip in February prompted the resignation of another senior whip. The paper quotes the source as saying: "There was considerable ill-feeling in the whips' office about Pincher's appointment.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Express reports that ministers are urging Mr Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak to cut taxes now, rather than wait until the next election. A Cabinet rift is emerging, according to the paper, which adds that supporters of tax cuts in the government say people need more help now, as the cost of living rises.Elsewhere, the Sunday Times reports that the Prince of Wales gave an honour to a Conservative peer after allegedly accepting millions of pounds in donations from him.
