UK ministers angry as Mahmood withholds homelessness impact of asylum changes

UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has frustrated cabinet colleagues by repeatedly refusing to say how much homelessness could rise from her asylum system changes, sources say. Home Office ministers will meet other departments to seek a compromise amid warnings of a care sector staffing crisis. Mahmood's allies say the impact cannot be quantified yet, while the Home Office insists ending asylum hotels won't cause homelessness.
