The Papers: End of 'golden ticket' asylum rules and Labour leadership talk

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood tells the Sunday Times she will end the UK's "golden ticket" asylum rules by increasing the period of time after which a refugee can claim settled status from five to 10 years. A shorter waiting period for people who arrive legally will also be confirmed by the government when it sets out its asylum plans later this week, the paper says. Illegal migration, Mahmoods adds, is "tearing us apart".

Former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner has spoken to the Daily Mirror, calling this week's leadership challenge talk in the Labour Party "arrogant tittle tattle". The paper says it is her first interview since resigning after admitting not paying the right tax on her home.

But elsewhere, the Sunday Telegraph claims Rayner is preparing for a leadership election herself by shoring up support among Labour MPs. A source close to the Greater Manchester MP told the paper its report was "total rubbish".

The Observer's front page asks if there is "political interference" at the BBC, after a turbulent week which saw its its director-general and head of news resign. The newspaper has previously published an editorial describing the events leading up to their departure as a "political attack".

The Daily Mail's front page focuses on upcoming BBC lectures given by Rutger Bregman, who the paper says has been critical of Donald Trump in the past. The author, who is best known for his books Utopia For Realists and Humankind: A Hopeful History, is due to give four BBC lectures, one of which will be titled A Time Of Monsters.

The Daily Express leads on calls from the Conservatives, Reform and some industry figures for the government to reduce taxes on high street businesses, particularly pubs. Claims of an impending "bloodbath" in the main headline on Sunday's front page come from shadow chancellor Mel Stride.

The Sunday People leads on an update about Edward Putman, who made national headlines when he claimed a lottery win using a fake ticket. Edward Putman, who was jailed in 2019 for the con, has previously also been convicted of rape and benefit fraud.

Model Kelly Brook speaks to the Daily Star as she enters the jungle for the latest series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. The paper says she is "defying cruel taunts about her figure", and quotes her as saying: "I embrace my curves, I embrace my body."

Finally, the Sun pictures British actor Sacha Baron Cohen outside a nightclub with a female companion on its front page. The Ali G and Borat actor was spotted in Hollywood.
