It's not just about Brexit. As campaigning for the general election enters its first full week, the health bosses' group NHS Providers is asking parties not to use the NHS as "a political weapon".

The busy winter period for GPs and hospitals coincides with the December poll, and the group warns against "over-dramatising" claims or making "empty promises". We fact-check what's been said about the NHS so far by the parties.

Also, a think-tank is predicting a large rise in government spending after the election, whoever wins.

Meanwhile, check out our poll tracker. And, of course, there's our really simple guide to the election.

But is Hamilton already the best of all time? Have a look at the statistics.

Steve Easterbrook, the chief executive of fast food giant McDonald's, has been fired after having a relationship with an employee. The British businessman's actions were deemed to have "violated company policy" and shown "poor judgement". Read the full story.

The election dominates. The Guardian says Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is telling colleagues the debate over Brexit within the party is over, and that it's time to focus on other issues. The Daily Express reports that Boris Johnson is promising to raise the National Insurance threshold if the Conservatives win. And the Daily Telegraph leads on a Tory MP's warning that Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage could create a "weak" hung parliament if he takes votes away from Mr Johnson. Elsewhere, the Times says suspected trafficking gangs are bringing children as young as 15 to the UK through visas sponsored by private schools.
