Man United title triumph toasted

Writing in the Telegraph, Alan Hansen says winning back-to-back titles against Chelsea must count among Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest achievements.

Every paper also carries photos of the grieving family of Jimmy Mizen, the 16-year-old killed in an unprovoked attack in a south-east London bakery.

The Daily Express says his "savage slaughter" is a sign Britain is no longer "safe or sane".

For Labour's sake

"Venal" and "selfish" is the Daily Mail's verdict on the memoirs of John Prescott and Cherie Blair, and their criticism of Gordon Brown.

The paper says they could have held off publication for Labour's sake but that would have reduced their earnings.

Fresh revelations by Cherie Blair in the Sun and the Times see her take her husband, not Mr Brown, to task.

She says she was astonished when he and Alistair Campbell jointly decided to announce her miscarriage to the media.

Rising aspirations

The Independent leads with a warning that millions of pounds worth of soft fruit and vegetables could lay rotting in the fields this summer.

The paper says farmers are fighting a losing battle to recruit eastern European workers to pick produce due to rising aspirations of many migrants.

The Times reports Gordon Brown will not meet the Dalai Lama at Downing Street.

Instead, they will meet at Lambeth Palace to avoid upsetting China's government, the paper says.

Disc cutter

The Times and the Daily Star report on the drastic action taken by a motorist in Gloucestershire to stop his car being clamped.

Ian Taylor's Ford Fiesta was legally registered to be parked off the road but a DVLA official noticed two inches of the car protruding beyond his drive.

Clampers were dispatched to seize the car and charge him �200, so he cut the vehicle in two with a disc cutter.

Mr Taylor told the Star he "had to make a point".
