The Papers: 'Migrants in barracks' and 'NHS printed my face'

The Times reports that a total of 900 asylum seekers could be housed in two barracks - one in Scotland, the other in the South of England. It is part of the government's "drive to end use of hotels within a year", according to a Home Office source cited by the paper. The Times also carries the latest on the China spy case after key figures discussed its collapse at a parliamentary committee on Monday.

"NHS printed me a new face," headlines Metro, with a snap of 75-year-old Dave Richards and his new "lifelike resin face" produced on a 3D printer. Mr Richards was left with devastating facial injuries after being knocked off his bike by a drunk driver in 2021, but he says his operation has "opened up a world of possibilities".

The Daily Telegraph also heralds "game-changing" NHS news. The health service is reportedly planning to offer same-day prostate cancer tests, with AI being used to interpret MRI scans in seconds so those at a high risk are sent to a radiologist for priority review, followed by a biopsy on the spot. A shot of King Charles III also makes the front page, after the monarch was heckled about his brother, Prince Andrew, during a trip to Staffordshire on Monday.

The Budget leads the I's coverage, as it reports that bigger tax hikes and spending cuts are on the way in November. The paper says Chancellor Rachel Reeves has hinted she wants a "bigger reserve of cash" to allow "sufficient headroom" to protect the UK economy.

The Financial Times also runs the Budget in its top slot, reporting that there could be a £20bn gap in public finances due to a downgrade of its productivity performance forecast.

Labour will "hammer homeowners" in the Budget, writes the Mail after speculation the government will introduce a mansion tax. Estate agents speaking to the paper say that Housing Secretary Steve Reed's refusal to rule out the proposal would "hasten the stampede" of people leaving the country.

The Daily Mirror reports that a firm linked to the husband of former Tory peer Michelle Mone has bought a luxury apartment in Flordia. "£10m slap in the face", is how the Mirror describes it. The paper says it was bought before a company linked to Baroness Mone, PPE Medpro, was told to pay back £122m for breaching a Covid-19 contract.

The Daily Express turns its attention to the grooming gang inquiry row. In its headline, the paper quotes a survivor as saying the inquiry was "rigged from the start". Ellie-Ann Reynolds quit the review and has accused the panel of "gaslighting and manipulating" victims. Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips has insisted the government is "committed to exposing the failures" to tackle "these appalling crimes".

The Sun dubs Frogmore Cottage "Costmore cottage" as it reports that more work will be done to the property to prepare it for Prince Andrew's arrival. The paper says that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had already spent £2.4m on it when they lived there. Buckingham Palace has not commented on whether Prince Andrew might move out of his current home, Royal Lodge - or where he might go - but the BBC understands Frogmore was suggested to him.

And it is a "Boxing Day footie red card" according to the Daily Star, which is reporting that there will be only one Premier League game on 26 December - usually one of the most anticipated dates on the football calendar.
