Keir Starmer’s speech to the Labour conference dominates the British front pages of Wednesday’s newspapers.

The British prime minister told the country to “turn up our collar and face the storm” and that he would make unpopular decisions, reports The Times, while The Independent takes a similar line as it looks at his message to the party to take pride in victory.

The Guardian repeats Mr Starmer’s line that tough decisions are needed, saying Britain will prosper if people keep the faith and accept a series of difficult “trade-offs”.

“The state will take back control” is the headline in The Daily Telegraph, which says Mr Starmer used a Brexit slogan to spell out his vision for his government.

The Daily Mirror warns of a bumpy road to a brighter future as it says Mr Starmer promised “tough love” for the UK.

The Metro also focuses on the Labour conference with home secretary Yvette Cooper vowing to halve knife crime in a decade on the day a ban on zombie blades was introduced.

The i says the EU is willing to shorten the time it wants for young Europeans to be allowed to stay in the UK under a proposed mobility agreement.

Britain's Princess of Wales features on the front of the Daily Express, which says she returned to work after cancer treatment to plan her Christmas carol concert.

The Sun also features a return to work as it reports on Phillip Schofield filming a Channel 5 programme in Madagascar, 16 months after he left This Morning.
