The Times reports that Kemi Badenoch is pledging to remove a range of environmental regulations, including strict net-zero standards, as Monday’s front pages focus on the Conservative Party conference. The proposed changes are a pledge, not rules already removed, according to the BBC’s review of the papers. [1]
Other papers frame her plans differently. The Daily Mail presents them as a return to ‘common sense’ Conservative values and compares her approach with Margaret Thatcher’s in the 1970s. The Daily Mirror reports an accusation that Badenoch wants to take Britain back to austerity. The Daily Express focuses on her promise to preserve the pension triple lock and her criticism of Prime Minister Andy Burnham over older people. [1]
Away from the conference, the Financial Times reports a drop in global dealmaking and warns that high interest rates could disrupt a strong period for mergers and acquisitions. [1]
The Daily Telegraph reports that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has taken legal action over his arrest by Thames Valley Police, asking a judge to decide whether it was lawful. The paper says he was questioned on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released under investigation. He has strongly denied wrongdoing. [1]
