The Independent - Record waits for asylum seekers as backlog soars

Summary of the front page

The Independent says the number of migrants waiting more than three years to find out if they have been granted asylum in the UK has more than quadrupled in 18 months as the immigration backlog crisis deepens and thousands of people are left in limbo.

New figures show that there has been a huge surge in asylum seekers waiting many years for an initial decision on their claim.

It comes as home secretary Suella Braverman is expected to announce a “ten-point migration plan” with Gérald Darmanin, her French counterpart.

The front page features an image of residents in Kherson hugging after Russian troops – who had occupied the city early into the invasion – finally retreated.
