New leads in the search for missing Madeleine are the main focus in Sunday's press.

The Sunday Express, along with News of the World and the Sunday Telegraph suggest Madeleine may have been bundled into a white van.

They report a police source said one was seen several days in a row outside the McCann's Algarve apartment complex.

But the Independent on Sunday dismisses it saying it is no more significant than many other leads that have "evaporated in the past ten days".

Cherie Blair

Sunday's papers have focused on Cherie Blair, days after her husband announced he was standing down.

In an interview with the Independent on Sunday Mrs Blair speaks out against sending pregnant women to prison or removing children from jailed mothers.

The News of the World is convinced Mrs Blair is heading for Hollywood after she moves out of Downing Street.

It says she plans to spend the next two years in the US, where she'll "rake in £45,000 a time" on the lecture circuit.

Brown predictions

There is much musing as to what shape Gordon Brown's Cabinet and policies will take in Sunday's papers.

The People predicts Jack Straw will become Chancellor, as a "reward for masterminding" his leadership campaign.

The Mail on Sunday says Mr Brown will engage the support of the Queen to prevent the break-up of the Union.

And the Observer says the chancellor will take the symbolic "royal prerogative" powers from the prime minister and hand them to parliament.

Coat of arms

The news that John Prescott is heading for a peerage has captured the imagination of the Sunday Telegraph.

The paper was unable to resist mocking the politician's coat of arms.

The paper wonders whether the outgoing Deputy Prime Minister will allude to his time as a ship's steward, his "two Jags" moniker, or croquet?.

The Sunday Telegraph says for a motto Mr Prescott could even have it in his own distinct syntax: "By sea, by car, by 'eck."
