Duncan Smith on the up

Today's Telegraph reports on the changing fortunes of Tony Blair and Iain Duncan Smith.

While the prime minister is portrayed as a leader under pressure, Iain Duncan Smith is said to be a new man.

A Tory frontbencher says: "Iain is a changed man, and it's not HRT. In the past three months he has transformed himself. It's astonishing."

The Guardian's political editor, Michael White, reports that Tory and Liberal Democrat MPs are asking: "Is Blair finally mortal?"

Ian McCartney, the Labour chairman, meanwhile, has urged MPs to unite in the face of Conservative attacks.
