An ICM poll finding which suggests that the Conservatives could win a working majority at the next general election is reported in Tuesday's papers.

It suggests the Tories have a 13-point lead when people reveal which party they would back under Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Sir Menzies Campbell.

The Guardian's political editor, Michael White, reveals some Labour MPs "blanched" when they heard the figures.

The Daily Telegraph says it will come as a "relief" to the Tory high command.

Premature baby

The Daily Mirror says the policing minister, Vernon Coaker, is poised to announce a gun amnesty.

The paper says he is in talks with senior police officers about a nationwide amnesty to be held later this year, after a spate of shootings.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail has an image of the baby who is thought to be the most premature infant to survive.

Amillia Taylor was born after 21 weeks and six days when she was born in Florida last October.

Britney's wig

The Independent, in its lead story, invites readers to "get your own back" on High Street banks, over illegal overdraft and credit card charges.

The paper says that, thanks to an unprecedented customer revolt, it is now "payback time".

It explains that more than 1,000 consumers have claimed back unauthorised charges after successful complaints to the Financial Ombudsman.

The Sun and Star feature pictures of Britney Spears wearing a blonde wig.

Quiz controversy

"You pay, we say... sorry," reads a Daily Mirror headline, about the apology issued by the TV chat show hosts, Richard and Judy.

It follows claims that the quiz You Say We Pay, on their show, allowed viewers to phone the hotline after the winner had been chosen.

The Times reports that Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan are "furious".

The affair threatens to damage the couple's reputation as a trusted television brand.
