“Light at the end of this tunnel” – Tuesday’s front pages continue their coverage of the Labour Party conference taking place this week, the first party conference in power in more than 15 years.

Some newspapers cover Rachel Reeves’s speech yesterday, as the chancellor promised no return to austerity and laid out a more optimistic view of the UK economy. Many newspapers look ahead to the speech by PM Sir Keir Starmer, who will speak at the conference in Liverpool today.

Elsewhere, there is coverage of the ongoing crisis in the Middle East with many of the front pages featuring images of Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon. Many papers fret the region is on the brink of an all-out war.

Beyond the main stories, there is a light sprinkling of other domestic news, the latest from the Premier League dominates the back pages.

“Barnier’s cabinet is likely to reassure the business world. … First in terms of method: the prime minister is consulting experts widely and has undertaken to continue doing so in preparation for his government policy statement. This marks the beginning of a culture of compromise that is quite foreign to France. And secondly in the choice of personnel: there are few or no big names in this team, but the ministers are experts in their fields and will be careful not to break with the dynamic created over the past seven years. … With the cast, the method and the direction now set, the 2025 budget will be the acid test.”
