Ex-ambassador's Iraq view debated

Iraq is again in the headlines as the views of Britain's former ambassador in Washington, Sir Christopher Meyer, are reported.

Ahead of his book DC Confidential, Sir Christopher tells the Guardian there is evidence "home-grown terrorism" was fuelled by events in Iraq.

The paper calls his book "a damaging critique of Mr Blair".

The Daily Mail describes it as a "devastating expose of Mr Blair's folly" from "the ultimate insider".

Camera move

The government is planning to cut back on the number of speed cameras, according to the Times.

The number of fines rose 10-fold in the last decade, it says, but cameras will no longer be used to raise revenue.

The paper says this is "good news" and means money raised from offenders will be put into road safety, such as making junctions safer.

The paper says the rethink partly happened as ministers had "sniffed the wind of driver discontent".

Tory bid

The Sun looks at the Tory leadership race, saying David Cameron trod on his first banana skin by urging that ecstasy should be downgraded to a Class B drug.

The Daily Express thinks his campaign faces what it calls "a wobbly weekend."

But the Independent says Mr Cameron recognises the need to woo the centre, which it says is essential if the Tories are to win the next election.

His rival David Davis is running a lively campaign but his policy ideas do not bear close scrutiny, it claims.

Tesco is not welcome in Poland, according to the Financial Times.

It reports that the country's new finance minister, Teresa Lubinska, believes the supermarket chain was an example of non-productive investment and helped drive small shops out of business.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail aims to disprove the immigration minister's claim there are only 95 Polish plumbers in the UK.

With a small ad and a couple of calls it found that number in a corner of London in just 24 hours, it says.
