Short notice evictions to be banned Leadership contenders want May to stay for months Hammond mocks Brexiteer leadership campaigners Progress unlikely in Brexit talks unless red line shifts Corbyn links youth service cuts to crime NHS giving doctors cash to avoid early retirements Javid to make \u2018veiled leadership pitch\u2019 Lammy criticised over \u2018Nazi\u2019 remarks
\n<\/strong>The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0that housing campaigners have backed Government plans to ban \u2018no-fault evictions\u2019, with a consultation on abolishing \u2018section 21 evictions\u2019 which allow landlords to evict tenants at short notice and with no good reason. The Government says that this is one of the main causes of family homelessness, and Theresa May said the change \u2018will not only protect tenants from unethical behaviour, but also give them the long-term certainty and the peace of mind they deserve.\u2019 The news was welcomed by Shelter but the Residential Landlords Association warned that it could result in fewer homes being available to rent.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>According<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0The Times<\/em>, Cabinet contenders for the leadership want Theresa May to stay in place until the first stage of Brexit is completed, even if this takes until the end of the year. They fear that a summer leadership content would aid those, such as Boris Johnson and Dominic Raab, who want to reopen the Brexit deal. However, former leader Iain Duncan Smith yesterday called on May to step down by the end of June.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Daily Telegraph\u00a0<\/em>says<\/a>\u00a0Chancellor Philip Hammond used a speech in Washington to mock Brexiteer candidates in the last Conservative leadership election, saying Boris Johnson and Michael Gove formed an \u2018unintended suicide pact\u2019 while Andrea Leadsom had a \u2018private suicide pact\u2019. He also joked he was the only Tory MP not running for leader and that if a no-deal Brexit had happened he would have been visiting as the \u2018designated survivor\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0has been\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0by \u2018sources close to the talks\u2019 between Labour and the Government over Brexit that further advances are unlikely unless the Government\u2019s red line over a customs union with the EU moves. Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington said \u2018there is going to have to be movement on both sides\u2019. Three working groups are to be established next week, covering security, environmental protection and consumers\u2019 and workers\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The\u00a0Daily Mirror\u00a0<\/em>reveals<\/a>\u00a0that Jeremy Corbyn will use a visit to an educational activity centre in Yorkshire to claim that the Conservatives have cut council spending in youth services by 70% since 2010. He will warn that \u2018these cuts are creating the conditions in which crime can thrive\u2019 and pledge to legislate \u2018to guarantee quality youth services\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The\u00a0Financial Times<\/em>\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0that there is a \u2018growing staffing crisis\u2019 in the NHS, with the service topping-up doctors\u2019 salaries with cash to help them avoid higher taxes as a result of stricter pension rules which have led many staff to take early retirement or to reduce the hours they are working. The paper warns that this \u2018threatens to undermine the multibillion-pound funding injection\u2019 announced by Theresa May last year.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Daily Telegraph\u00a0<\/em>reports<\/a>\u00a0that Home Secretary Sajid Javid is to make a speech on crime today, which it describes as a \u2018veiled leadership pitch\u2019. He will say that \u2018we cannot afford to leave anyone behind\u2019 and advocate a \u2018public health\u2019 approach to tackling knife crime, coordinating teachers, medical professionals and other branches of Government.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Times<\/em>\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0that Labour MP David Lammy has been criticised after he compared Conservative Brexiteers to Nazis yesterday, saying that they should not be \u2018appeased\u2019. He said the \u2018BBC should not allow this extreme hard-right fascism to flourish\u2019, but Conservative MP Conor Burns suggested that Lammy had \u2018lost it\u2019.<\/p>\n
