Lord Mandelson makes the front page of both the Telegraph and the Express this morning.
For the former he tells the paper that Gordon Brown will face another attempt to unseat him this autumn by a group of Labour MPs who will never be reconciled to his leadership,
"There's a small group who keep coming back. They won't be reconciled to the Prime Minister's leadership," he admitted.
The Express reports that he let slip that ditching the pound in favour of the euro remains an “important objective” for Labour.
Speaking in Berlin, Lord Mandelson insisted the euro had been a great success during the global downturn.
The Guardian meanwhile carries an interview with the foreign secretary who tells the paper he thought about quitting the government in last week's turmoil.
Speaking to the Guardian at the end of 10 extraordinary days, the foreign secretary says the party's high command was given an "electric shock" by the disastrous European election results, and he urges fellow ministers to get out and prepare for "the fight of our life".
Away from politics,the Mail leads with the story that
Police are so overstretched guarding jet-setting young royals that senior members of the family are being put at risk .Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has asked the Home Secretary for an urgent increase in funds to pay for more protection officers.
The Times reports that
The editor of Vogue,Alexandra Shulman, has accused some of the world’s leading catwalk designers of pushing ever thinner models into fashion magazines despite widespread public concern over “size-zero” models and rising teenage anorexia.
Pictures of people voting in Iran's elections are on many of the front pages,the Independent's Robert Fisk writes that
A brave people went in their millions yesterday to vote for the next president of Iran.
They went for the right reasons and they went for the wrong reasons but they wanted a say in how their country is governed. In their tens of thousands, they waited in Tehran amid the sword-like heat of summer to insist that they had duties and obligations towards their society. Alas, the clerical blanket which smothers Iran will ensure that mullahs – not people – ultimately get their way. Thank you, Ayatollah Khomeini.
