Nottinghamshire becomes the latest area to move into England's highest tier of coronavirus restrictions today, following an overall rise in infection rates. Localised restrictions mean betting shops, saunas, tattoo parlours and nail salons must close, while alcohol cannot be sold after 9pm in shops. County council leader Kay Cutts is urging people "to crack down as hard as we can now" so residents "can have a more normal Christmas". It will be joined in tier three - very high alert - by West Yorkshire on Monday, at which point almost a fifth of England's population will be subject to the strictest limits.
With much of Scotland placed in the "very high" level of its new five-tier system - one step away from something akin to the full lockdown of the spring - Welsh residents largely confined to home as part of the country's "firebreak" and Northern Ireland also subject to strict rules, BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle considers whether a full lockdown is inevitable. While many scientists think so, one government source tells him they "want to try everything" before thinking about that. As our correspondent points out, the problem for those making decisions is "it's only autumn and we are at such a critical stage already. The end of winter is a long way away".

Less than 12 months ago, Jeremy Corbyn was leading Labour into a general election. This morning, he finds himself suspended from a party he joined as a teenager, having refused to retract a claim the scale of anti-Semitism in Labour under his leadership had been "dramatically overstated" by his opponents. He was responding to an Equality and Human Rights Commission report finding the party responsible for three breaches of the Equality Act when dealing with complaints about the treatment of Jews. Now, one of Mr Corbyn's most powerful allies warns the suspension could cost the party the next election. As Unite union general secretary Ken McClusky sees it: "A split party will be doomed to defeat." Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg says while it "seems not to have been a deliberately designed collision" between Mr Corbyn and his successor, Sir Keir Starmer, it was nonetheless "an explosive political parting of ways" that exposes the divides in the party.

You might see the occasional celebrity announce their engagement in the Times, as singer Ellie Goulding did a couple of years ago. Others might have their wedding photos published in Hello! But news of Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson's marriage to writer and comedian Colin Jost emerged via a charity's Instagram account. Meals on Wheels America said it was "thrilled to break the news" the couple had married in an "intimate ceremony" at the weekend. "Their wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time," the post added, before asking for donations.

The i describes the Equality and Human Rights Commission report into anti-Semitism in the Labour party as "damning", having found political interference in complaints, failure to adequately train those handling them and harassment under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. "Corbinned" is how the Metro sums up the former leader's suspension for claiming opponents had overstated the issue. The Guardian quotes a party source saying deputy leader Angela Rayner had urged Mr Corbyn to apologise but he did not and subsequently found out about his suspension from a cameraman. The Daily Mail says Labour "exploded into open warfare" as a result, while the Daily Telegraph says some union figures are discussing the possibility of forming a breakaway party. His successor, Sir Keir Starmer, now faces "a battle for the soul of the Labour Party", reckons the Times. Read the review.
