Newspaper headlines: Defiant May and plastic 'polluting' people

Theresa May's Commons statement on Brexit - and her claim that 95% of the withdrawal agreement has been settled - gets widespread coverage and makes the lead for the Times and the Guardian.

For many, nothing has changed since her statement to MPs seven days earlier.

The Guardian says the fundamentals - that the EU will not agree to the selective Chequers approach and the prime minister lacks the numbers in her party to deliver that kind of deal - remain as true now as before.

The Daily Telegraph says the option of extending the transition period does not seem to have placated her MPs.

For the New Statesman website, time is running out and the prime minister just repeats herself.

But many papers judge that Mrs May came away unscathed following her latest Commons statement on Brexit.

For the Financial Times, there was little evidence that Tory MPs were yet prepared to withdraw their backing for the prime minister.

The Spectator website says that, overall, the session is unlikely to have tipped the balance either way when it comes to her survival.

The Daily Telegraph's sketch writer, Michael Deacon, says she entered the chamber for what should have been a daunting confrontation with her MPs. And yet, he goes on, she more or less strolled through it, in part because Brexiteers had been hampered by the violent language used against her at the weekend.

"Enough is enough", the Daily Mail declares. It describes MPs plotting against her as peacocking saboteurs dragging their party and country towards the abyss.

The Financial Times leads with some good news for the government.

It says Chancellor Philip Hammond is set to land a £13bn annual windfall in the Budget from better-than-expected public finances, which will help save him from raising taxes to pay for NHS spending.

It says the news will be handed to him by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, which had underestimated the recent strength of personal tax receipts and corporation tax revenues.

The Daily Express leads on the open letter to Mrs May by dozens of peers and Tory MPs calling on her to abandon plans to investigate unsolved killings in Northern Ireland and other military conflicts going back many decades.

The paper's political commentator, Stephen Pollard, describes investigations and prosecutions as a witch-hunt and says veterans are being used as pawns in a wider political game.

There is a warning in the Daily Telegraph's main story that some operations are becoming "life-threatening" because of the rise of antibiotic resistance.

A report by Public Health England says common procedures such as hip and knee surgery and Caesarean sections carried out on around three million people a year are becoming increasingly dangerous.

"The proof we all eat plastic" is the front page headline in the Daily Mail.

It says scientists have confirmed for the first time that human bodies are becoming polluted with plastic.

Tiny pieces were found in samples from each of the eight participants in a pilot study by Austrian scientists which tried to estimate how much plastic we eat and drink every day.

The paper reports that all of them had eaten food wrapped in plastic or drunk from plastic bottles. Six of them had eaten fish.

Finally, a number of papers report that President Macron has ordered that ceremonies in France marking the centenary of the end of the World War One next month must avoid commemorating it as a military triumph.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the Elysee Palace has said an "overly military" ceremony would risk offending the French, who view the war as a "mass slaughter" rather than a victory.

The Times says some have seen the sidelining of the military as an attempt to avoid upsetting the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, who, along with other world leaders, is expected to be present at the commemorations in Paris on Armistice Day.
