Newspaper headlines: '60 Tories turn on PM' and Fujitsu 'will pay up'

The daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess is suing the Home Office and Essex Police for failing to stop his killer, the Daily Mirror reports

Many of Wednesday's papers lead on the attempts by Tory rebels to amend the government's Rwanda asylum bill.

The Financial Times says Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's eventual victory over the rebels came at a "high political price", with his authority shaken and vitriol now flying between wings of the Conservative party. The paper suggests that Mr Sunak is calculating that rebel Tories won't risk sinking the bill completely when MPs vote on it on Wednesday because of the anger they'd face from their constituents.

If they do vote the bill down it would plunge the government into crisis and give Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer a "big helping hand" into Number 10, the Daily Mail says. The paper suggests Tory whips now "face a day of frantic arm-twisting" to stop the rebels voting against. It says Downing Street has "flatly denied" suggestions from some Conservative MPs that Mr Sunak is prepared to collapse the government if he loses.

The Times strikes a more optimistic note for the prime minister, reporting that only six Tory MPs have publicly declared they will vote against the bill. At least 32 of them need to oppose it - or dozens must abstain - for it to be defeated. The Daily Telegraph says 14 Conservative MPs are "threatening" to vote the bill down, with many others considering doing so.

The Sun carries the story of a two-year-old boy who starved to death after his father, who was alone with him, died of a heart attack. Bronson Battersby, who was under Lincolnshire County Council children's services care, was found curled up next to his father at their home in Skegness 14 days after the pair had last been seen. The boy's mother, Sarah, says social services missed chances to save her son. The council says it has launched an urgent review and is supporting the family.

The Telegraph reports that the former social mobility czar Katharine Birbalsingh, who the paper describes as Britain's strictest headteacher, is facing a High Court case because of her ban on prayer "rituals" at her school. A Muslim pupil at the Michaela Community School in northwest London says the rule is discriminatory, with reports that a number of students used their blazers to kneel on for prayers in the playground because they weren't allowed to use prayer mats.

The Daily Mirror says the daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess is suing the Home Office and Essex Police for failing to stop his killer. Katie Amess, who's launching a personal injury civil case, says lessons need to be learnt after Ali Harbi Ali stabbed Sir David to death in 2021 in a terrorist attack. Ali had been referred to the Home Office's de-radicalisation scheme, Prevent, but officials didn't believe he posed a threat. The Home Office said significant work had been carried out to protect MPs in the wake of the killing. In a statement to the paper, Essex Police said it couldn't comment on the case but that the Amess family remained in its thoughts.

And according to the Times, that daily glass of fruit juice for children may sound healthy, but could be the opposite. Researchers from the University of Toronto, in Canada, described juice as liquid calories and said it could cause serious weight gain. They studied data from 46,000 children which suggested that the more often they drank juice the more overweight they tended to be.
