'Sweeping reforms to asylum rules' and 'New humiliation for Andrew'

The home secretary will announce a raft of changes to the UK's asylum policy later, which leads the majority of the day's papers. "Most sweeping reforms to asylum rules in a generation" declares the Guardian, and points to Shabana Mahmood's earlier warning that anger over illegal immigration could "turn on second-generation immigrants" and rupture community relations.

"First states face visa ban in migrant returns push" reads the Times, reporting that Mahmood is set to announce that the UK will stop granting visas to people from three African countries if their governments do not improve co-operation on removals of illegal migrants. According to the paper, the first countries subject to the ban will be Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Daily Telegraph leads with a similar story, and notes that the visa bans mirror measures introduced by US President Donald Trump during his first term. The paper says that countries with a history of refusing to accept returned asylum seekers could be the focus of future crackdowns; it lists Somalia, Bangladesh, Iran and Egypt as the worst offenders.

"Cruel to be kind?" asks the Metro, reporting that the reforms are based on tough laws brought in by the centre-left government in Denmark. It writes that the changes have been mocked by shadow home secretary Chris Philp, who called them a "gimmick" from a government that is "incapable of getting real change past their left-wing backbenchers". The paper predicts Monday's announcement from the home secretary will "spark yet more civil war" in the Labour party, which it says is "already riven by talk of leadership challenges".

People granted asylum in the UK will need to wait 20 years before they can apply to settle permanently, according to the Metro. Amid the upcoming reforms, the paper notes that fresh protests have been held over plans to house 600 asylum seekers at a former military site in East Sussex.

"Lawyers and Labour MPs to torpedo Mahmood's asylum plan" reports the Daily Mail, reporting that the home secretary has been warned that asylum seekers will be able to avoid deportation "as long as Britain remained signed up to human rights laws". The paper says the proposed reforms have resulted in significant backlash for Mahmood from various Labour MPs and charities.

The Mirror says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing a "fresh humiliation", and report that Falklands' authorities have removed "every plaque" that bears his name. The former prince has previously received a warm welcome in the archipelago, after he served as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War. A source told the paper that the Falklands were Andrew's "last remaining source of pride".

"Trump trade negotiator lashes out at Europe over delays in reducing tariffs" reads the headline of the Financial Times. US trade representative Jamieson Greer told the paper that the negotiations remain a "flashpoint" with Washington, despite the deal struck between Trump and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen earlier this year. Officials say the delays are in danger of "squandering a period of better relations" between the US and Europe.

The front page of the Sun features a photograph of what it claims is the woodland "lair" of Christian Brückner, who was released from prison earlier this year. The German national has been named by prosecutors as a prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Brückner has never been charged with any crime in relation to the case and denies any involvement.

Government moves to ease prison overcrowding is a "betrayal" of victims and their families, says the Daily Express. The paper reports that Labour is "ramming through sentencing reforms" that would see "killers and abusers" released early. The early release scheme kicked off in September 2024, and has been criticised in recent weeks following several high-profile mistaken releases.
