The Independent - Home Office ignored warnings on diphtheria

Summary of the front page

The government failed to act on a warning that asylum seekers in reception centres should be vaccinated against diphtheria, weeks before a man held at the overrun Manston site died, The Independent reveals.

A major refugee charity has called for an independent inquiry into the facility, as the home secretary was accused of “putting anti-asylum rhetoric above safety” while Labour slammed a “chaotic” response.

The front page features an image of Bel Trew who is speaking to survivors of abuse in Russian occupied areas of Ukraine.
