'Stark warning' over ADHD and 'Andrew wins legal fight'
This paper review contains spoilers from the third episode of The Celebrity Traitors, series two.
The result of the Holborn and St Pancras by-election came too late for the printed editions of the papers, but the Guardian website says Zack Polanski "fell short" in the high-stakes battle for the left of British politics. The Daily Mail says Polanski suffered a "heavy defeat," raising questions over his future as Green leader. The Daily Telegraph says he has vowed to stay on, despite being rejected by voters after the anti-Semitism row in his party. "Green with envy," is The Sun's headline
The Daily Mail says the rush to diagnose autism can "damage children" - citing a report that warns that parents are being incentivised to have their children diagnosed, by misguided schools and welfare systems that reward such labels. The Times says the review warns that early diagnosis could close doors in adulthood. But the Guardian highlights the conclusion of Professor Peter Fonagy, who penned the review, that "the rise in mental health problems is real and cannot be explained by greater awareness alone".
The Times says a prolific shoplifter who praised Andy Burnham as he walked out of prison under the government's early release scheme was sent back to jail within days, after going on a crime spree. The paper says the police spent 27 hours of their time bringing Michael Bogle back into custody. It quotes a letter from a local Metropolitan Police Commander as saying that the time could have been better spent "in the community, progressing other investigations or targeing high-harm offenders". The Sun says that a staggering 95% of prisoners who breached their tagging conditions on the scheme were simply bailed back into the community with "zero sanction".
Many of the papers highlight the police admission that the warrants used to search Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's homes in February were unlawful. The Sun notes that that police chiefs say their investigation into Andrew will continue at pace. "It's not over," agrees the Daily Mirror, which writes that the judge determined that the unlawful warrants do not invalidate the entire investigation. Mountbatten-Windsor denies any wrongdoing. The Daily Telegraph cites friends of Andrew saying his fightback starts now. Writing in The i Paper, the former BBC royal correspondent Jenny Bond says Mountbatten-Windsor will be rubbing his hands with glee that a rare bit of good news has come his way.
