Generous to call a comic a newspaper. I'm sure there were others but given the time of day of your post, they have all been enhanced away by entitled guests. Also as you suggest I have seen lounge staff gathering them all up hours before 5pm, leaving the Sun to annoy you.

try the pressreader app and download.
or thinking outside the box there could be a place out there *points in the direction of the general terminal* that in exchange for money will provide you with a newspaper of your choice.

Although I do appreciate a real paper newspaper, the newly available Pressreader app, free through lounge wifi, is a great plus in my opinion and provides access to a good selection of worldwide newspapers and magazines. It’s great for pre-flight downloads and appreciated that anything dowloaded remains accessible.

Pressreader is great once the UK Govt/BA makes the use of compatible devices mandatory, or available on the NHS.
I’ll stick to my Kindle, and black fingertips in the Lounge if there’s a newspaper worth reading.

Frankly since the Telegraph hired that Johnson creature I have given that up except for the cryptic crossword.
I suspect that all the other Sunday newpapers are unavailable given the time that you posted.

They need to reduce copies of the Sun and get more copies of The Times and Telegraph. I often find that in the evening there are no papers other than the Evening Standard and Sun.
