| Labour's former leader in Scotland has told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she was forced to come out as gay after comments about her sexuality were included in a magazine article.

But the article's author said "at no point" had she received this request.

The Times says she wants to stay on to focus on social justice as well as Brexit and feels "emboldened" by a lack of Conservative challengers. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports on the "moving" viewing by Princes William and Prince Harry of floral tributes to their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
