Newspaper headlines: Asylum detentions to begin and 'Tory MPs plotting'

A variety of stories lead the papers.

The Guardian says the Home Office will begin detaining asylum seekers across the UK on Monday in preparation for their deportation to Rwanda. The paper says refugees turning up for routine meetings with officials will be held as part of a "surprise two-week exercise".

The Home Office has told the paper the government is entering "the final phase of operationalising" its Rwanda policy. Refugee rights campaigners and lawyers say the detentions risk provoking long legal battles, community protests, and clashes with police.

The Daily Telegraph says ministers have accused the European Union of "double standards" over Ireland's plan to return asylum seekers that have entered the country from Northern Ireland. "Cheek of the Irish in asylum storm", declares the Daily Mail, which says the EU has "consistently blocked" a returns agreement between Britain and France.

Separately, the Mail claims on its front page that "tens of thousands" of foreign nationals are exploiting a "hidden asylum loophole" by lodging claims while visiting Britain on time-limited visas.

"Depressed and anxious face losing their benefit" is the headline on the front of the Times. Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride is quoted saying that "work is the answer or part of the answer" for people with "perhaps milder mental health conditions". The paper says the Tory plans on sickness benefits will be a key dividing line with Labour ahead of the general election.

The i reports that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is resisting calls to go to the polls early, despite manoeuvres from rebels within his party. It says groups of Tory MPs are plotting to oust him "in anticipation of disastrous local elections results".

"Time is running OUST for rebels", according to the Sun. The paper says mutineers will make a final bid to topple the prime minister "within days".

The damage to harvest done by wet weather in recent months could push up the prices of beer, bread, and biscuits, the Metro reports

Broadcaster Dame Esther Rantzen - who has stage four lung cancer - has told the Daily Express she's "fighting for [her] family and lots of others" as MPs prepare to hold a "landmark" debate on assisted dying. Dame Esther tells the paper: "No one is going to force a healthcare professional to bump me off... but I don't want to be forced to live longer than I want to".

A picture of a man supping on a pint feature's on the Metro's front page, alongside the headline "prices coming a cropper!" The paper carries a warning from experts that the prices of beer, bread, and biscuits could rise because of the impact of wet weather on harvest yields.

And the Daily Telegraph says residents of the village that supposedly inspired The Archers are kicking off over proposals to build new stands at the local football club. Villagers say the tranquillity of Inkberrow in Worcestershire has been "completely shattered" by "loutish" supporters "shouting and swearing". One resident tells the paper they're happy Inkberrow FC is doing well, but that "we're more cricket men around here".
