Many papers continue to lead on the fallout from the investigation by the Guardian and ITV News, in which David Walliams was accused by several women of sexual misconduct, inappropriate behaviour and abusing his position. Walliams has denied the allegations. According to the Guardian, ministers have warned the entertainment industry that it must bring in better protections for women and children, or face a "crackdown". Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is expected to meet leaders in the industry next week, it reports.
The Times reports on the response from female comedians, who it says have "condemned" the use of non-disclosure agreements to protect famous men. It says comedian Lucy Beaumont is among those calling for better safeguarding, after she revealed that she had given information to journalists that were investigating the allegations against Walliams.

"Even Cameron tells PM: Don't rejoin the EU" reads the Daily Mail's headline, after the former prime minister cautioned Andy Burnham against "triggering another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out" in an interview with Bloomberg. His warning comes as the prime minister prepares to "sell his Brexit betrayal", according to the paper, at a gathering on European leaders in Dublin on Thursday.
Similarly, the Telegraph carries a series of quotes from Lord Cameron's interview, under the headline "Cameron warns Burnham not to rejoin the UK". The paper's main story focuses on Special Air Services soldiers, who it says are "reluctant" to carry out missions where they may have to "shoot people", due to fears they will be accused of war crimes. A source told the paper that SAS forces feel "permanently and constantly scrutinised, without reprieve" amid an ongoing Afghanistan inquiry into the elite unit.
The Independent leads on a warning from a former Burnham aide, who has said Britain is facing an economic "heart attack". Former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane has penned a piece for the paper that criticises what he says is a "negligent" fiscal policy, comparing Burnham to a "reckless" doctor who should be "struck off".
