The Cabinet Office was accused of “endangering lives” after it accidentally published the home addresses of more than 1,000 people who received New Year’s honours, reports the Sunday Times.

A clampdown on illegal immigration was relaxed because ministers feared the Queen believed it could affect the polo season, according to claims in the Mail on Sunday.

In Brexit news, the Sunday Express reports that the EU “will be the loser” if the European Commission fails to make a trade and security deal with Britain by the end of 2020.
