What the papers say - May 13
A variety of stories top the headlines on Sunday - from the latest on Brexit to the annual UK rich list.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that at least a dozen members of Theresa May's Cabinet are preparing to block her plans for a new customs partnership with the EU.
The paper says the news comes after the Home Secretary and the Defence Secretary became the first Remain voters to switch sides to join Brexiteer opposition to the plans.

Brexit also leads the Observer, which reports that student organisations representing almost a million UK university students are joining forces to demand a referendum on any final deal.
Student unions are writing to MPs calling on them to back a "people's vote", the paper adds.

The Sunday Times Rich List leads this Sunday's paper, which reveals 94% of Britain's most wealthy built their own fortunes.
This differs from when the list was first published 30 years ago, the paper says, when the surest way to a fortune was to be a landowner.
