Pictures of Gordon Brown hugging his wife on the stage in Manchester along with headlines warning his rivals dominate the front pages

Gordon Brown squarely confronted his Labour critics and turned his fire on the Conservatives in a highly personal speech designed to prove that he remains the best man to lead Britain up to the next general election.
He openly admitted his mistakes, but bluntly told the Labour faithful that there was no one else qualified to see the country through the global economic turmoil.
In words that appeared directed both at plotters backing David Miliband and the Conservative leader David Cameron, he declared: "I'm all in favour of apprenticeships but let me tell you – this is no time for a novice."

Brown hits back-this is no time for a novice says the Times

The Prime Minister bought himself time with a warmly acclaimed speech to the Labour conference yesterday. In a remark aimed at David Cameron, and swiftly taken to apply also to David Miliband and other pretenders to his job, he said: “Everyone knows that I am in favour of apprenticeships but this is no time for a novice.”

The Telegraph also has the same headline adding that

Mr Brown announced a number of policies which he hopes will appeal to voters, including free prescriptions for cancer sufferers, free nursery places for two year old children and a pledge for the eventual scrapping of all prescription charges for millions of patients with long-term illnesses.
The Prime Minister admitted he had made mistakes since taking over from Tony Blair but said he remained true to his beliefs.

Whilst the Guardian headlines Brown gets up close and personal

With the audience in the hall in Manchester willing Brown to succeed in producing the speech of his life, he offered a quieter, more humane delivery, as he reintroduced himself to the electorate, confessing: "I'm not going to try to be something I am not. If people say I am too serious, quite honestly there is a lot to be serious about."

Gordon Brown bounces back with impressive speech says the Mirror

It would either be a rousing do-or-die speech that would reinvigorate a squabbling Labour party and breathe new life into his premiership.
Or, the pitiful last lament of a leader cast adrift by a divided party and abandoned by a disillusioned public.
In the end, the party faithful in Manchester were rewarded with a bravura performance – 59 minutes of passion and power that added up to Gordon’s finest hour.

The Express though is not happy with the speech,it's front page says

GORDON Brown was last night accused of attempting to pull off his grossest deceit yet.
Battling to save his job, the Prime Minister audaciously claimed to be “on the side” of Middle Britain.
He used his keynote Labour conference speech to portray himself as the defender of “Britain’s vast majority, people on middle and modest incomes” suffering in the economic downturn.

The gunman, wearing a ski mask and identified by local press as Matti Juhani Saari, a 22-year-old trainee chef, entered a classroom at Kauhajoki school of hospitality, 180 miles north-west of Helsinki, shortly before 11am yesterday.

It is seen as the mark of civilised eating, distinguishing well-fed French workers from the English who wolf prawn sandwiches at their desks. But France's tradition of the three-course restaurant lunch is in danger of being killed off by the economic crisis.
Around 3,000 traditional French restaurants, cafes and bars went bust in the first three months of 2008 and unions predict a further rush of closures as people worry about making ends meet. The number of French restaurants going bankrupt rose by 25% from last year, and cafes forced to close were up by 56%.
