The Metro - Strop the boats

Summary of the front page

Strop the boats” headlines the Metro as it reports on the infighting within the Conservative Party over the government’s asylum policy making it illegal for migrants to arrive in the UK on small boats. 

The paper says Home Secretary Suella Braverman faced demands by right-wingers in her party for tougher rules to stop the European Court of Human Rights blocking removals, while Tory MPs on the left were fighting to make her agree more safe routes for asylum seekers. 

The government now appears to have seen off a rebellion.

The front page also reports on the election of Humza Yousaf as SNP and Scotland’s new first minister.
