The successes of a number of British team members at the Olympics are widely reported in Tuesday's papers.

"Blazing Saddles" is one of the headlines celebrating the success of British cyclists.

The Daily Star says Britain is now the dominant force in world cycling and the Daily Mirror says Olympic stars will be treated as heroes upon returning home.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph says the Beijing Olympics have seen the greatest British success since 1920.

Pakistan uncertainty

The Guardian carries the findings of a survey suggesting voters would prefer David Cameron as prime minister even if David Milliband replaced Gordon Brown.

Following the departure of Pakistan's President Musharraf, the Financial Times says the ruling coalition has to show it is capable of governing.

And the Times says his departure deprives the West of its most important partner in the anti-Taleban campaign.

Intelligence officials tell the paper uncertainty will follow in Pakistan.

Unfair Britain

A Conservative Party report which accuses Britain of betraying millions of hard working Britons is the lead story in the Daily Express.

It says the government has created an unfair country where families, children, pensioners and future generations are all worse off.

The report, An Unfair Britain, is also referred to in the Daily Telegraph.

It refers to pensioners being poorly treated, increasing inequality in education and high taxes for the poor.

Intrepid Scot

The Daily Mail hails the return of a British institution - the "terrible" riddles and jokes on ice lolly sticks.

"Victims of more sophisticated tastes" in the 1980s, the paper says, Wall's plans to bring them back with the help of comic actor and writer James Corden.

An intrepid Scot, who has been called a modern-day Lawrence of Arabia is to become the subject of a Hollywood biopic starring Orlando Bloom.

The Independent tells how Rory Stewart, an Eton-educated former diplomat, will be a vehicle for Bloom to move into more politically conscious film-making.

Stewart earned his international reputation for his work in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans.
