A majority of papers lead with Chancellor Rachel Reeves's U-turn on winter fuel payments, after she restored the winter payment to more than three-quarters of pensioners. The Sun calls on Reeves to apologise, saying her original decision to cut the payment was "fuelish".
The chancellor's U-turn on winter fuel payments is "umiliating", according to the Metro, which reports that reinstating the payment will mean Reeves saves just £450m instead of £1.5bn. It continues that the chancellor hasn't outlined how the U-turn would be paid for, "adding to speculation of tax rises in her October Budget".
"Humiliation" over the winter fuel payment U-turn also leads the Daily Mail, which describes the chancellor and prime minister as being "deluded". The paper reports that Sir Keir Starmer is "ridiculed" for suggesting that reinstating the winter fuel payment is now possible because Labour has "fixed" the economy.
"Victory for pensioners!" declares the Daily Express, which says the chancellor's winter fuel payments U-turn came "after 298 days of relentless campaigning" by the paper.
The U-turn "gets a warm welcome" from Labour MPs, the i Paper reports. But backbench MPs are also warning the Cabinet that they must "listen to backbenchers" to avoid a similar U-turn on planned cuts to disability benefits.
"Winter wonderful" declares the Daily Mirror, which describes the U-turn as a "dramatic change of heart".
The winter fuel payments U-turn also features on the front page of the Times. But it also leads with a "stand-off" between Reeves and the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who the paper says was denied a request for more spending for police. The shortfall could mean police face "stark choices" over which crimes to investigate, according to Britain's most senior police officers.
Labour's pledge to spend £14bn to build the new Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk and "get Britain off the fossil fuel rollercoaster", leads the front page of the Guardian. "The biggest nuclear programme in a generation" will create 10,000 jobs, a move which the chancellor hopes will "overshadow uncomfortable decisions" at today's spending review - like the U-turn on winter fuel payments.
Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg's detention by Israeli authorities is the top image for the Daily Telegraph, as Israel says she and others on the Gaza-bound boat carrying aid are "undergoing medical examinations to ensure they are in good health". But the paper also cites Energy Secretary Ed Miliband's declaration of a new "golden age" for the British nuclear industry, after the £14bn earmarked for two new reactors at Sizewell. The new capabilities will "provide six million homes with electricity regardless of the weather".
Brits are increasingly saying "for folk's sake" to traditional religion and seeking solace in the "the lore's prayer", according to the Daily Star. The paper reports that more people are looking for the "meaning of life" in "wizards, goblins and monsters", as attendance at traditional religious ceremonies falls.
The singed remains of a Waymo car following the LA protests features at the top of the Financial Times, which reports that California Governor Gavin Newsom is "set to sue" US President Donald Trump for his deployment of National Guard troops. The paper also reports that hedge funds are circling several French companies facing "painful restructurings" as they struggle with high levels of debt.
