The Daily Telegraph reports that the Home Secretary Suella Braverman will use a speech today - at a gathering of right-wing Conservatives - to put pressure on Rishi Sunak to reduce net migration.

The paper says she'll argue: "It's not xenophobic to say that mass and rapid migration is unsustainable."

The Times says Ms Braverman will say the UK has become too dependent on foreign labour - and there's "no good reason" why British workers cannot be trained to fill vacancies for jobs such as lorry drivers and butchers.

The Financial Times leads with a report that the G7 and EU will ban the resumption of Russian gas imports on routes where Moscow has cut supplies.

The paper notes it will be the first time that pipeline-gas trading has been blocked by western powers since the invasion of Ukraine, as they attempt to put further pressure on the Russian economy.

"Starmer to use EU citizens to rig polls" the Daily Mail claims in its headline.

It says Labour is planning to allow EU nationals - who have settled in Britain - to vote in general elections, and that this is being seen as a "cynical plot" to guarantee Labour a majority in future elections.

"Outrage over Labour plan to reopen Brexit" is the headline in the Daily Express.

It quotes the Tory Party Chairman Greg Hands saying the proposed changes are designed to drag "Britain back into the EU".

The Daily Telegraph reports that the majority of teenagers know someone at their school who claims to want to change gender, according to a new study by the Civitas think tank.

The Civil Aviation Authority has suggested that holidaymakers will be able to fly from London to Sydney in less than two hours within a decade by travelling via space, according to the Times.

The paper says the CAA is funding medical studies into the effects of suborbital spaceflights, in which tourists would be blasted into space briefly before descending to their earthly destination - and while, at present, space travel is the preserve of super-rich thrill seekers, regulators believe in future it will be "accessible to anybody".

There are several front page photographs of the actress Kate Winslet and her daughter, Mia, who've won a Bafta award for a drama in which they appear together.

The Daily Mail's take is: "Bafta double act for Mamma and Mia!"
