All the qualities focus on Gordon Brown's speach to the Labour party conference yesterday.

Gordon Brown sets out stall for Middle Britain says the Times

Gordon Brown made his election pitch yesterday with a blatant attempt to steal some Tory clothes and rebuild the Middle Britain coalition that gave Labour two landslide victories.
In his first speech to the Labour Party conference as Prime Minister, he laid claim to the traditional Conservative values of aspiration, responsibility and patriotism. It was peppered with 81 references to “Britain” or “British”.

Adding

In another nod to the Tories, he called for Labour to protect and cherish the countryside as well as the cities, but provided no details of a new rural policy.

Gordon Brown targets Tory heartlands says the Telegraph

Setting out a manifesto he hopes will deliver another Labour landslide, Mr Brown offered his own solutions to gun crime, hospital superbugs and police bureaucracy in a patriotic speech that mentioned "British" or "Britishness" 71 times.
Amid growing calls for an early election, he also offered to review 24-hour drinking, one of a series of measures designed to undercut Mr Cameron's own policies, while pointedly failing to mention the Tory leader once.

Whilst the Guardian headlines

'I will not let Britain down'

In a series of lightly sketched new policy directions designed to associate him with middle Britain, he urged the police to use new stop-and-search powers to defeat gun-wielding gangs. Police will also be given 10,000 handheld computers to cut bureaucracy and paper-based form-filling. He also promised to strip licences from shops that repeatedly sell alcohol to those who are underage. Parents who fail to supervise their children will be fined, and teachers will be given support to exclude disruptive and bullying children.

a Britain where all achieve their potential says the Independent

Although Mr Brown did nothing to stoke speculation about a snap poll this autumn, the speech had a pre-election feel. Close allies said he would hold an election either on 25 October, 1 November or next May, and was likely to decide whether to call it this year after next week's Tory conference.

The Sun though is not so adhereed to the message

Not his finest hour says the paper

DEFIANT Gordon Brown yesterday devoted just 12 seconds of an hour-long speech to who governs us — Britain or Brussels.
The PM refused to bow to the nation’s demands for a referendum on the EU Constitution.
He dismissed the campaign led by The Sun — who yesterday mocked him up as wartime leader Winston Churchill — in a mere 34 words, insisting the nation was safe in his hands.

The Independent continues to lead with the crisis in Burma

'No injustice can last for ever' says its front page

As Gordon Brown sent a message of hope to the people of Burma, the military regime has issued an ominous threat to the Buddhist monks who are leading the series of extraordinary democracy demonstrations.
After 100,000 people filled the streets of Rangoon yesterday – the largest demonstration by far since the protests of 1988 – a government minister told senior monks that if they did not rein in the activities of those heading the marches, the regime would take unspecified action.
The threat by Brigadier General Thura Myint Maung, the religious affairs minister, represents the first public acknowledgement by the regime of the mounting challenge it faces as thousands of monks in maroon robes chanting slogans fill the streets of the country's largest city on a daily basis with calls for peaceful change.

Burma's generals threaten protest clampdown says the Telegraph

Last night Brigadier General Thura Myint Maung, minister for religious affairs, told state-owned radio that "actions will be taken against the monks' protest marches according to the law if they cannot be stopped by religious teachings."

Junta threatens protesting monks reports the Guardian

Britain's ambassador in Rangoon, Mark Canning, applauded the Burmese military's handling of the dissent, but fears the demonstrations could yet end in bloodshed.
"So far the military have shown commendable restraint," he said. "But there are a number of scenarios that could unfold.
"The protests could just fizzle out, though that looks less and less likely with each passing day. Or the government could try to restore its authority. A counter-reaction would be disastrous. They need to be extremely careful, as harming monks would make matters much worse."

President Ahmadinejad's trip to America is heavily featured

Ahmadinejad denies Iran wants nuclear weapons says the same paper

The claim came in the midst of a bad-tempered occasion at Columbia University, where the Iranian leader had been invited to speak but was denounced before he began as a "petty and cruel dictator" by the university dean.
In the course of a damning introduction, the Columbia dean, Lee Bollinger, who had been criticised for inviting Mr Ahmadinejad told him he must be "brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated" to persist in questioning the facts of the Holocaust. In response, Mr Ahmadinejad criticised Mr Bollinger for insulting him and "insulting the intelligence of the audience" by attempting to "inoculate" them against the Iranian leader's views

Ahmadinejad attacked as 'petty dictator' says the Indy

It was not the stuff of ordinary political debate. Inside Columbia University in New York yesterday, Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was attacked as a "petty and cruel dictator". Outside, furious protesters competed with the sound of helicopters to voice their anger that the Iranian leader was being allowed to speak at all.

Tornadoes cause chaos across England reports the Telegraph

Up to 11 tornadoes tore across central England this morning, ripping off roofs and uprooting trees in what one householder likened to a scene from the Wizard of Oz.Freak weather conditions, with winds gusting up to 65mph, caused twisters to form as far apart as Hampshire and Lincolnshire, damaging dozens of houses but mercifully causing no reported injuries.


Blew Monday as tornadoes hit says the Sun

AT LEAST ten tornadoes tore through Britain yesterday leaving a trail of wrecked homes and cars.
The first 80mph twister struck soon after dawn.
Hundreds of houses lost roof tiles. Trees were blown down and windows were smashed as gusts ravaged the North, Midlands and the Home Counties.

Maddy continues to dominate some of the papers.The Mail reports on its front page that.

The first eyewitness account of the frantic moments after Madeleine McCann disappeared can be revealed today.
Nanny Charlotte Pennington confirms that Kate McCann did scream: "They've taken her, they've taken her!"
The mother's precise words have become a pivotal issue in the case, with Portuguese police questioning why she would automatically assume Maddie had been abducted.
Mrs McCann's family have countered this by insisting they recall her shouting: "Madeleine's gone."

Give McCanns closure says the Mirror

Kate and Gerry McCann are having to face the heartbreaking realisation they may only emerge from the shadow of suspicion if Madeleine's body is found.
A source close to their legal team said the couple were horrified by speculation that they may never get the chance to prove their innocence because Portuguese police will refuse to formally charge them without the discovery of a body.

'FIND BODY OR MCCANNS WILL ESCAPE' reports the Express

POLICE searching for Madeleine McCann have been told: Find her body or her parents will escape prosecution.
The stark warning was issued by the District Attorney’s office in Portugal as police chiefs admitted that the case against Kate and Gerry McCann is now hanging by a thread.
The admission that charges are unlikely ever to be brought comes almost five months after Madeleine disappeared.

Sticking needles in a bad back ‘eases pain better than drugs’

Acupuncture works better than conventional treatments in reducing lower back pain, according to researchers in Germany.
But so does fake acupuncture, where the needles are inserted shallowly and in the wrong places. In a trial of more than 1,100 people, both were almost twice as effective as a combination of drugs, physiotherapy and exercise.
The results suggest that both acupuncture and sham acupuncture act as powerful versions of the placebo effect, providing relief from symptoms as a result of the convictions that they engender in patients.

Anglican Church could split by end of year

The worldwide Anglican Church is expected to split radically by the end of the year under plans being drawn up by a leading conservative archbishop to "adopt" a breakaway group of American dioceses, the Daily Telegraph has learned.
Under the unprecedented proposals, the archbishop would allow the conservative dioceses to opt out of the liberal American branch of the Anglican Church and affiliate with his province thousands of miles away.
It is understood that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has been informed of the plans.

10 weeks jail for 172mph speeder

The Mirror says

The fastest driver to be caught by a speed trap in Britain was jailed for just 10 weeks yesterday after clocking up 172mph.
Furious road safety campaigners branded the sentence "ridiculous" after Timothy Brady, 33, admitted dangerous driving on a country road in a £98,000 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo.
Dianne Ferreira of Brake said: "This was a terrifying speed and it was an absolute miracle that no one was killed or seriously injured. The maximum sentence is two years in prison so 10 weeks is ridiculously low.

Immigrant motorists fuelling rise in road crashes, says police chief

A cavalier attitude to drink driving among immigrants from Eastern Europe is causing road accidents, a police chief has warned.
Senior officers also said drivers struggling to understand road signs was another factor for a rapid rise in the number of foreign nationals arrested for causing crashes in the last two years.
Chief Inspector Rick Dowell, head of Dorset Police's traffic unit, said many foreign motorists have a 20-year-old attitude to drink-driving and think nothing of getting behind the wheel after boozing

DEATH TAX TRAPS AN EXTRA 50,000 FAMILIES A YEAR

MORE than 135 homes a day will be caught in the crippling inheritance tax trap over the next year.
Britain’s biggest mortgage lender, Halifax, estimates that over the next 12 months 50,000 extra properties will be pushed over the limit as house prices continue to rise.
This will be in addition to the 2.3million homes already worth more than the inheritance tax threshold of £300,000 at which bereaved families must pay 40 per cent death duty.

Caretaker waged 'letter-bombing' campaign in protest at surveillance reports the Independent as does many of the papers

A primary school caretaker waged a letter bombing campaign which targeted organisations across Britain in protest at a "surveillance-obsessed society", a court heard yesterday.
Miles Cooper is charged with sending seven letter bombs constructed out of party poppers and nails or broken glass over a period of two weeks earlier this year.
When police swooped on his home in Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, in a dawn raid they discovered, a "bomb factory" in his bedroom with three more devices, "packaged and and more or less ready to go," Oxford Crown Court heard today.

Second case of bluetongue as hobby farmers face foot-and-mouth backlash reports the Times

A second cow has tested positive for bluetongue at the farm where Britain’s first case of the disease was discovered at the weekend, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said last night.
The cow at the Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm, near Ipswich, Suffolk, was slaughtered after the discovery yesterday by veterinary scientists, but a Defra spokeswoman said: “The evidence remains insufficient to confirm an outbreak.”


Patients killed by NHS drug rationing claims the Mirror

Patients have died because of rationing of costly NHS drugs, a survey found.
One in six GPs and hospital doctors said they had seen patients die and half saw people suffer.
Two thirds of the 1,000 quizzed admitted they were told not to prescribe certain drugs by their NHS trust - even though it could be fatal. Seventy five per cent said cost was the main reason.

Jeremy Kyle show 'is human bear-baiting' reports the Telegraph

Britain’s most popular daytime television talk show was condemned as “a human form of bear baiting” after a spurned husband was provoked into attacking his wife’s lover in front a stunned studio audience.David Staniforth, 45, a security guard, had reluctantly accepted an invitation to discuss his marital disharmony on ITV 1’s The Jeremy Kyle Show.
But when he saw his rival, Larry Mahoney, a 39-year-old bus driver, walk onto the set he suddenly leapt out of his chair and head-butted him.
Security guards separated the two while Staniforth’s wife, Jennifer, 42, looked on.
Staniforth later escaped with a £300 fine after Alan Berg, a district judge in Manchester, suggested the show’s producers should have been beside him in the dock.

St Albans is new Mayfair in Monopoly

Two historic market towns and a village have ambushed Britain's biggest cities by pushing them into lowly positions on a new version of the Monopoly board.
St Albans, Colchester and Keele triumphed in an online poll to name the squares in the game.
The poll, which attracted more than a million votes, excluded other big cities altogether, including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Instead of London, which would be a runaway winner on average property prices, the prime spot occupied by Mayfair on the standard board goes to St Albans. Exeter takes Park Lane, the second-ranking space, while London has to be content with replacing lowly Northumberland Avenue in the third cheapest property band.
