The general election remains the focus for many front pages with the Guardian reporting Jeremy Corbyn has told his shadow cabinet “the debate is over” on Brexit, as he seeks to shift the focus to social justice and climate in the upcoming campaign. It says the Labour leader told his front-bench to fall into line after divisions over Brexit led to a row over whether the party should back an election.
The Labour leader has vowed to keep TV licences free for pensioners if Labour wins power at the general election, according to the Daily Mirror. His deputy, Tom Watson, previously described the decision to scrap the benefit as “utterly callous”.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, is looking at plans to give every employee a tax cut worth up to £460 by raising the National Insurance threshold, says the Daily Express. The paper explains that the proposal would be at the heart of a manifesto designed to win over working-class voters, particularly in the Midlands and the North.
In other political news, Nigel Farage’s announcement that he will not stand for an eighth time to be an MP makes the lead for the Metro. The Brexit Party leader told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show he would instead campaign for his 600 general election candidates.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Mr Farage risks becoming “the man who threw away Brexit”. The paper quotes leading Tory Brexiteer Steve Baker as saying Mr Farage was “setting out” to create a “weak and indecisive” hung Parliament.
A Times investigation has found that children as young as 15 are being brought to the UK by suspected trafficking gangs through visas sponsored by private schools. The paper claims the schools are making hundreds of thousands of pounds from Vietnamese children who are entering the country and then disappearing.
Elsewhere, the Sun reports that middle-aged cocaine users are being treated in hospital at a record rate. Under the headline “midline crisis”, it says cases involving people in their 50s and 60s are three times higher than they were five years ago.
One in 10 patients admitted to hospital suffer from a form of diabetes linked to being overweight and inactive, reports the Daily Mail. The paper says hospitals are being “deluged” with 5,000 type-2 diabetes patients every day.
The i reports the number of cases of heart failure has risen by a third in five years. The paper says more than 900,000 people are living with an incurable form of the heart disease.
News of the world’s most profitable company launching its initial public offering is the front-page story on the Financial Times. The listing of Saudi Aramco is part of Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s ambitious plan to overhaul the kingdom’s “oil-addicted” economy, it says.
And finally, Britain is set to feel a “Scandinavian shiver”, says the Daily Star, which is set to make it the coldest November across the country since the Big Freeze in 2010.
The general election features on many front pages. And several papers focus on Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage following the announcement that he will not be putting himself forward as a candidate.
Some of the papers ridicule Mr Farage’s decision.
Having marched his Brexit Party army to the battlefront with banners flying, could it be that he’s lost his nerve at the first whiff of grapeshot?, the Daily Mail asks.
There is also interest in Mr Farage’s plan to put up candidates in nearly every constituency.
In the Mail’s view, every vote for the Brexit Party will bring Jeremy Corbyn closer to Downing Street.

The Sun urges Mr Farage not to split the Tory vote and not to endanger the best chance of ending the Brexit paralysis.
Swallow your pride and think again, is its advice.
The Financial Times says that for all his bluster, Mr Farage must know that splitting the Leave vote would risk losing Brexit – the goal he has spent his entire political life trying to achieve.
The Daily Telegraph leads with an attack on Mr Farage by the leading eurosceptic Tory MP Steve Baker.
He tells the paper that Mr Farage risks becoming the “man who threw away Brexit” because of his opposition to Boris Johnson’s withdrawal agreement and his party’s decision to field candidates in almost every constituency.
