The Times and Daily Express report more claims could yet come out against Brand.

Elsewhere, the Financial Times leads with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer claiming his party would strive to “get a much better” Brexit deal if they take power in the next election.

And the Daily Star says a gloomy stretch of days is set to put Britain “on the lash” with wind and rain.
