What the papers say: May's Brexit plan and EU leaders' 'rudeness' towards Britain

Theresa May was widely praised in yesterday’s papers after the Government backed a third runway at Heathrow. And there are more plaudits for the Prime Minister in today’s editorials. The Sun says that yesterday’s figures showing the wages of the poorest rose faster than for any other section of society made it clear that it wasn’t true the Tories only care about the rich. It says the Government’s plan to reduced the balance of inequality contrasts strongly with the ‘fevered minds of Jeremy Corbyn and his deluded followers’, who try and paint Britain as ‘an unfair society plagued by gross inequality’: a picture which it says isn’t true. But The Sun does pile some pressure onto May: it says Britain’s economic prosperity makes the country a ‘magnet to foreign workers’, and calls on the PM to ‘show us her plan to reduce immigration sooner rather than later’.
