Sturgeon’s resignation has left the Scottish National Party at “the crossroads”, says the Financial Times, adding that her strategy for securing independence caused a backlash, while there was also “controversy” over proposed gender laws. The paper also says that the development could boost Labour’s chances of a UK-wide majority in the next general election. Away from political developments, the paper also reports that an Iranian-American billionaire, Jahm Najafi, is planning a billion-dollar takeover of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur.
