The Guardian - Alarm as ministers target housing standards to cut asylum hotels bill

Summary of the front page

The Guardian says ministers are going to remove basic housing protections from asylum seekers in an attempt to move thousands of people out of hotels and into privately rented accommodation. 

The shake-up, “designed to move tens of thousands out of hotels and into the private rented sector”, would exempt landlords from meeting minimum safety regulations in accommodation, such as electrical safety and minimum room sizes. MPs could vote “as soon as Wednesday” on the plans, put forward by Home Secretary Suella Braverman. 

The front page has also interviewed Eurovision winner Loreen on “fear, fame and fighting for human rights” after she secured her second win in the song contest over the weekend.
