Newspaper headlines: PM 'no quitter' and memories of the 'people's princess'

Theresa May's assertion that she's "not a quitter", and plans instead to lead the Conservatives into the next election, is the lead story for several of the newspapers.

The Guardian, external says her pledge could "reignite anger" among Tory MPs, who have been led to believe she would stay on only until the end of the Brexit talks.

The Times, external agrees that having survived the summer without a leadership challenge, an emboldened prime minister is starting to look beyond Brexit.

According to the paper's political editor Francis Elliott,, external Mrs May is "hanging tough" - and she's not going without a fight.

For the Daily Telegraph,, external the surprise announcement was a "radical departure" from her previous statements where she said she would only stay for as long as she was wanted.

The paper points out the parallels with Margaret Thatcher, who vowed in 1987 to "go on and on", only to be ousted three years later.

Her strategy of "throwing down the gauntlet to her rivals" could backfire, the paper says, and "reignite plots to challenge her".

"Hard slog, negligible progress" is how the Financial Times, external sums up the third round of Brexit talks between the UK and the EU this week.
