The Times reports that the barrister representing Russell Brand tried to have his rape trial thrown out by accusing the journalists who first reported claims against the comedian of criminality. The paper says Ian Winter KC said a 2023 documentary by The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches would have prejudiced the jury. The argument was rejected by the judge and Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

The Telegraph covers the accusation that the Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has insulted veterans by using Remembrance Sunday to make an "EU membership pitch". The Conservatives say she is suggesting that Brexit has damaged the legacy of British veterans. Nandy's statement notes the government's work to secure a 30% discount to rejoin the EU's education programme, Erasmus. A former head of the British forces in Afghanistan describes the timing as "tone deaf".

The Mirror leads on an interview with the prime minister, who says he is keen to secure more deals with the EU. Ahead of a UK-EU summit at the end of the month, Andy Burnham tells the paper a closer relationship would "pay off for families across the UK". "EU...this is just beginning" reads the Mirror's headline.

According to the Mail, a new poll suggests the Conservatives have jumped eight points ahead of Reform UK. The poll - by the party's former deputy chairman, Lord Ashcroft - puts Labour on 31%, the Conservatives on 26%, and Reform on 18%. The paper says Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is "on fire" and building momentum.

The Observer covers a warning by security experts, who say the people behind recent cyber-attacks on fridges and freezers in supermarkets across Europe sought merely disruption, not financial gain. It notes that for a number of years, such technology has been "shadow IT" - something not officially accounted for in risk assessments and often managed remotely by contractors. The paper says repeated attacks have raised concerns about growing digital threats to food and other services.

The front page of the Express says campaigners are calling on the government to cut the time it takes for veterans to be compensated for their physical and mental injuries. A former defence minister is quoted as saying veterans are fighting a "battle with bureaucracy" and can wait months or even years for help. The paper calls it a "shoddy way treat our injured veterans". The Ministry of Defence says it is working "at pace" to get compensation to eligible people as quickly as possible.

A report in the Sun says King Charles III would consider visiting China if requested to by the government, after a year of what the paper calls "politically charged" trips to the US and the Caribbean. It has been 40 years since the last state visit to Beijing. The Mail says the King is also expected to invite the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, to the UK for his first official state visit.
