Labour promises not to raise taxes in The Daily Telegraph today, while trying to distract from three of the party's MPs shown in The Guardian, The Daily Mail and also in The Daily Telegraph, appearing at Westminster magistrates' court over expense claims.

The Times cover features an interview with Peter Moore, who was held hostage in Iraq for more than two and half years. The Independent covers the tragic story of a man who died outside his home after a decade of abuse from local youths.
