Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has angered cabinet colleagues by not giving detailed estimates of how her asylum reforms could increase homelessness and strain community cohesion, according to the Guardian.

Ministers worried about rough sleeping and council costs say the department is withholding usable detail from them.
