A variety of stories lead Friday’s papers. The i reports that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has ended speculation that he will hold an early general election on 2 May, though adds that anxiety in No 10 is growing as angry Tory MPs increasingly question his authority. The paper quotes one MP saying there has been a “definite vibe shift” caused by the handling of comments by donor Frank Hester, who is alleged to have said MP Diane Abbott made him “want to hate all black women”. The MP says their colleagues have gone from “being resigned, quitting, to being angry”.
