'Burnham's power play' and Widdecombe 'hit 21 times with a hammer'

BBC News's review of the morning papers says the front pages are dominated by two stories: the death of a former MP, and the prime minister's first full day in office. Among the headlines it highlights are one describing Ann Widdecombe being hit twenty-one times with a hammer, and another referring to what a paper calls Burnham's power play. The papers roundup is a survey of front-page coverage rather than original reporting, and the feed entry does not include further detail on either story.
