Papers feast on Labour infighting

David Miliband's Guardian article, and the anger it provoked among Gordon Brown's allies, is widely seen by the papers as a sign of Labour infighting.

It is the main story for the Independent and the Telegraph, which has the headline "Labour at war".

The article published on Wednesday, says the Independent, has set off a tornado of political speculation.

It claims the foreign secretary has "started the race for No 10", and asks if he has the smile of an assassin.

Demotion claim

The Times says David Miliband decided to rally Labour after a below-par speech by Mr Brown last Friday.

According to the Telegraph's sources the foreign secretary might be demoted as payment for triggering the gravest crisis of Mr Brown's premiership.

The Daily Mail says he knew the article would be seen as a tentative leadership bid.

However the Mirror says it has been told the PM is considering making Mr Miliband Chancellor in September, to fend off an early leadership challenge.

Fuel dismay

The cost of a hot bath is another worry for the Times as the record British Gas price increases come into force.

Four years ago, a good soak would have set you back 41p, now filling the tub will cost 96p.

The latest rises in fuel bills make the lead for the paper, as well as the Financial Times, Guardian and Express.

The Guardian says the dismaying increases will - if replicated across the industry - send another one million families into fuel poverty.

'Ladettes'

The Mail reports figures showing the number of violent attacks by women has doubled in five years, in the age of the "ladette" binge-drinking culture.

It's the first time ever, apparently, that violence has been the most common crime among women and girls - taking over from theft.

And an exclusive picture of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic appears in the Sun.

The bearded disguise has gone and he looks more like his old self.
