‘Rwanda policy passes in the Lords’ & ‘Huw Edwards resigns’ – Paper Talk

News Briefing

Many of Tuesday’s front pages report on the government’s latest efforts to get its Rwanda asylum policy passed into law. 

Many of the right-leaning newspapers that back the current government celebrate the news that Parliament has passed the Rwanda bill following late-night sitting and months of wrangling. They claim that the policy will act as a deterrent and as soon as flights start to take off, migrants will stop attempting to cross the channel. 

Elsewhere, many of the papers leave room on the front pages to cover Huw Edwards – the former BBC presenter who has not been on air due to an alleged sex scandal. Yesterday he announced he has quit the BBC on “medical advice”. 

Away from domestic news, a couple of the papers leave room for front-page coverage of Donald Trump’s NYC case.
