Newspaper review

Papers

The Daily Telegraph reports that David Cameron is coming under pressure to deliver on his promise to reform the Human Rights Act.

It comes after the foreign-born killer of London headmaster Philip Lawrence was arrested on suspicion of robbery.

A judge ruled Learco Chindamo could not be deported after his sentence because it would infringe his human rights.

"Will her nightmare never end?" says the Daily Mail of Mr Lawrence's widow Frances.

The Guardian and Independent would like George Osborne and Vince Cable to deliver on bankers' bonuses.

They want to know why a year ago they were demanding and promising action.

But now, in government, they are "back-pedalling", saying there needs to be Europe-wide agreement.

"Struggling ministers often opt to kick troublesome policy issues into Brussels' patch," says the Guardian, "where the grass can grow very long indeed."

The Daily Mirror is not impressed by remarks by the Conservative peer-to-be Howard Flight.

He has apologised after suggesting that government welfare cuts would encourage the less well-off to "breed".

Several of the papers recall that it was only last week that Lord Young embarrassed David Cameron by saying most people had never had it so good.

According to the Sun, both men are "a couple of clowns" who do not represent the modern Tory party.

The Duke of Edinburgh has been "at it again" according to the Daily Express.

The paper accuses him of making a "gaffe" during a walkabout in the United Arab Emirates by asking expat Britons lining the streets "why have you fled to Abu Dhabi".

In an editorial, though, the paper says that, with his 90th birthday on the horizon, Prince Philip has earned the right to say almost anything.

They are not gaffes, it says, they are "Philipisms".
