The Papers: May backs Gove, Boris backs May
He is the star of the Daily Telegraph's splash, which sees his unexpected comeback as Theresa May's attempt to avoid a leadership challenge. The newspaper thinks the prime minister is addressing complaints that she is too autocratic and unwilling to work with her critics. It also expects Mr Gove to become a key adviser on Brexit and a powerful ally in getting any deal through the Commons. The Sun says he is the biggest winner in the "post-election disaster shake-up". The Times interprets the limited reshuffle as a signal that Mrs May will go for a so-called soft Brexit. The newspaper says she faces overwhelming pressure to go for looser controls on immigration, a re-think on leaving the customs union, and a more flexible approach to the European Court of Justice.
