MP Chris Huhne is fighting for his job having been recorded warning a witness of a speeding offence not to speak to the media. The Sunday Telegraph says that the Energy and Climate Change secretary attempted to coerce a witness into not coming forward having been asked to take points on his license for Huhne, a conversation which was recorded and released.
A poll run by the Sunday Mirror shows that eight out of 10 people believe that super injunctions are only for the rich to stop newspapers writing about them. The survey, conducted with ComRes, saw that 79% of respondents thought they were only for the rich and comes after actor Hugh Grant voiced his support for super injunctions.
Grant has said that people are ‘naughty by nature’ and that rich men should be allowed to gag the press if they can afford it. The Mail on Sunday reports that Grant made the claim while appearing on BBC’s Newsnight alongside former escort Helen Wood.
Several papers carry the news that Danni Minogue has also quit the X Factor alongside Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole, in order to concentrate on Australia’s Got Talent. The Mail on Sunday says that N-Dubz singer Tulisa will replace her.
Linkedin boss Reid Hoffman is set to receive a pay-out of $600m from the sale of him shares. The Observer says that the billionaire will make the fortune having announced his plans to sell his shares in the social networking site.
And finally, The News of the World is claiming that romance has blossomed between two of this year’s contestants featuring on the Apprentice. The paper says that Glenn Ward and Zoe Beresford who both appear in the latest series have fallen ‘madly in love’.
