The UK is preparing for an EU-UK summit on 20 November to discuss post-Brexit relations, including trade, migration, and security cooperation. Andy Burnham has indicated readiness to sign a new EU deal covering areas such as food and drink standards, carbon emissions trading, and under-30s migration, which he identifies as potentially contentious.
According to The i Paper, Andy Burnham is "ready to sign new EU deal next month - as he attacks Brexit 'damage'". Speaking ahead of a long-awaiting EU-UK summit on 20 November, the prime minister told MPs on Monday that a "deal is on the table", which would cover things like food and drink, carbon emissions trading, and under-30s migration. The paper says the under-30s migration is likely to be the most contentious part of any agreement, and negotiations on this "are still taking place".
The Independent paraphrases Burnham as saying "I'll let voters decide to rejoin Europe". It also carries a picture of actor Russell Brand, who has appeared in court for the start of his rape and sexual assault trial.
Burnham's statement that Britain's relationship with the EU is "not good enough" also leads the Guardian, as it says he promises "serious dialogue" over the UK's relationship with the bloc. Elsewhere, it reports that there will be a security review for high-profile public figures, including politicians and members of the royal family, after Ann Widdecombe's death.
The Daily Mail writes that Burnham is "in retreat over Russia Brexit 'lies'." The prime minister had said that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum but, it writes, "in an embarrassing U-turn", now the PM has "admitted he has no evidence".
The "Hand of Gord" leads the Daily Star. It says that former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown "attended an exorcism to help Raith Rovers sign player". Brown has denied the accusations, with a spokesperson telling the paper: "Gordon is always happy to do what he can to support Raith Rovers, but he's never attended an exorcism."
"Horrifying" declares the Daily Mirror as Reform "bigwig" Robert Jenrick has said he would order the Royal Marines to use "lethal force" against migrants. The Mirror calls it a "new low in British politics".
"Homes under the shammers" is the headline of the Sun, as it says Manchester City footballers are "being used to flog a £3bn Abu Dhabi luxury housing development". This is happening, it writes, "despite the furore over the cheating scandal".
The Financial Times covers comments from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in its top story, who says Russia has been breaking a ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump on energy targets. Meanwhile, it reports that hedge funds and banks have "hit out" at "Burnham's bid to ban non-compete clauses in work contracts".
"We'd be ready to fight tonight" Nato's Supreme Allied Commander Europe has said, in what the Metro calls a "stark warning to Putin". General Grynkewich has said Nato would destroy "anything and everything" used to assault a member nation.
The Times highlights a call to "cut screen time in class 'for sake of pupil health'" which comes from leading clinicians. The paper says experts "blame devices for stunting development". It also reports that disability benefits for 120,000 teens "cost taxpayers £1bn a year".
