The first "fight" with Brussels already loomed large on Monday in the British papers.
The front-page lead story in The Times, external reported that "Brussels forces Britain to accept Med migrants".
Migration is clearly a huge story, and a controversial one for the UK and Europe.

Nick Brit in Japan: Why not make Nigel Farage a Lord? He has given up his career for public service and it would show some recognition of the 13% that voted UKIP and they are the 3rd largest party. Parliament belongs to the people and not the main political parties.
'Time to change our perception filters'published at 11:30
Image source, ReutersOver at The Independent, John Rentoul has been reflecting on the outcome of the general election, and says David Cameron should be given credit for his victory, as he's "finally detoxified the Conservative Party".
He writes, external: "We hadn’t realised it over the past five years, because the prism, set by the polls, was that the party could not escape its poisonous reputation. The process is not complete, because shy Tories did not want to admit, some of them even to themselves, that they were voting Tory. But we thought that the Tory party could not expand its appeal; that no government could increase its share of the vote after a full term, especially not in such slow-growing economic times.
"Cameron could and did. Overnight, he has transformed from the one-term mechanic called round to fix the deficit, who couldn’t even do that, into a 10-year prime minister who can stamp his personality on the nation. It is time to change our perception filters."
