UK newspapers focus on Conservative Party conference and Kemi Badenoch's policy pledges

Many of Monday's papers are leading with coverage of the Conservative Party conference and the Times angles its front page piece on Kemi Badenoch pledging to scape a range of environmental regulations including "strict net-zero standards".

The Daily Mail takes a wider view of Badenoch's "reset" of the party, saying she has moved to get it "battle-ready" for an election with a "direct echo of Margaret Thatcher's approach in the 1970s" by releasing plans for "a return to 'common sense' Tory values".

Under a large headline reading "Bad to the future" the Daily Mirror runs a piece that opens "Badenoch is accused of trying to take the country back to the days of austerity under the 'nasty party'".

The Metro runs a large image of Badenoch next to a story saying she has vowed to be "like a no-nonsense mum" as she moves to make the Conservatives the "'common sense' party", and also likens her approach to an echo of Thatcher.

Badenoch's promise to "save the pension triple lock" and her attack on Prime Minister Andy Burnham for "going after the elderly" is the top line of the front page of the Daily Express.

Atop its front page, the Sun has a short story on Badenoch warning that "Britain must not become a nation of 'little ghettos'" and "migrants should embrace our culture". However it leads on what it bills as an exclusive about two of the hosts of Match of the Day dating. A large image of Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates sits behind a headline reading "Love match of the day".

The Financial Times looks at a drop in "global dealmaking" for the first time since US President Donald Trump's "trade war last year", and notes "high interest rates threaten to derail a blockbuster period for mergers and acquisitions".

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's decision to take legal action against Thames Valley Police over his arrest "eight months ago in relation to the Epstein files" leads Monday's Daily Telegraph. It says he has "asked a judge to determine whether the force's action towards him was lawful". Andrew, who the paper says "was questioned for almost 12 hours on suspicion of misconduct in public office before being released under investigation", has always strongly denied any wrongdoing.

The headline "'Horrifying' scale of child-on-child sexual abuse in schools revealed" runs across the top of the Guardian's front page. Further down, a picture of Rowan Atkinson in full Blackadder garb catches the eye as the paper reveals "A cunning plan" to revive the classic 1980s historical comedy as a live show.

The "hit show" Celebrity Traitors has brought a smile back to contestant Maya James after her "split from footballer Ruben Dias", the Daily Star says in its front page splash.

The link between Manchester City owners and the property where Andy Burnham is set to build No 10 North dominates the front page of the i Paper, in what it calls a "sweetheart deal".
