'Donorgate' dominates front pages

Version 0 of 1.

The continuing row over Labour Party funding makes the front pages again, with the Sun saying "donorgate" has left PM Gordon Brown reeling.

Over a picture of No 10, with a police guard outside, the Sun's headline reads: "Ello, ello, ello - what's going on here then?"

The Daily Mail asks the question: "Will Gordon be grilled?"

The Daily Mirror points out that Labour Party leaders are facing a second police inquiry in under two years.

Anger 'avoided'

The papers consider the plight of UK teacher Gillian Gibbons, given 15 days in a Sudanese prison after allowing her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

The Independent says the sentence falls short of an outrage - but only just.

The Times says the decision allows the Sudanese government to tell protesters the schoolteacher has been punished.

It says that, at the same time, it avoids the anger of the UK that would have followed had the court ordered a punishment of flogging.

Sabotage claim

The Guardian reports on the aftermath of Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp's arrest as part of an investigation into corruption allegations.

Redknapp, who insists the inquiry has nothing to do with him, says he now has no chance of becoming the next England coach.

The Daily Express says the 60-year-old suspects that he may have been deliberately set up in an effort to scupper his chances.

However, the paper assures him - quoting an FA source - he was never even considered.

Snow joke

It may still be November but the festive puns are out in full force.

The Daily Telegraph is among a number to report on a Santa in Halesowen, in the West Midlands, being forced to use a seatbelt when travelling at 5mph.

This has become a real "Elf 'n' safety" issue, the paper says. The Mirror, meanwhile, says "slow ho ho".

And the Sun reports how one school has banned angel wings - also for reasons of health and safety. "Yule couldn't make it up," the paper says.
