What the papers say: ‘Bone headed’ Labour and why it’s right to reform the Lords

Labour’s confused stance on immigration riles the tabloids in today’s papers – with the party’s position described as ‘bone headed’ in the Daily Express. Meanwhile, prison reform is on the agenda elsewhere, as the Guardian says Liz Truss should release the thousands of prisoners still locked up despite serving more than their minimum sentences. But whatever is done to sort out the mess of Britain’s prisons, it’s no time to make them more comfortable for inmates, says the Daily Mail. Here are what the papers are saying this morning:

The Sun hits out at Labour in its editorial this morning, saying the party’s policy on immigration shows what a mess the opposition are in. It says it’s not clear exactly what the party stands for – from Diane Abbott’s vow to do nothing, to her fellow MP Clive Lewis saying that migrants should only be let into Britain if they join a trade union – a move the paper says would ‘conveniently swell Labour coffers’.
