For the Sunday Times to launch a full-blown attack on the government and PM in particular, something is odd.
It doesn't seem that odd to me - the new Labour leader is an establishment friendly figure, so attacks on the incumbent Government can resume with some degree of safety; they rallied to see off Corbyn because he represented an existential threat to the status quo - but with Keir Starmer in position, they can tolerate some leftist popularity, safe in the knowledge that if he were to gain power, nothing would change in their rarefied world. See Tony Blair for historical equivalence - the first Labour leader the Murdoch press got behind, because he was basically one of them, with a veneer of socialism to fool the plebs. Either that, or Murdoch has decided that his loyal lapdog Michael Gove deserves his day in the sun.

Does Gove's wife work for a Murdoch paper?
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Currently works for the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail will be able to influence and switch their readership from Johnson to Gove as easy as turning on a tap.

I had to chuckle at the Daily Express front page, Hurry back Boris and sort this out. Talk about giving the readers what they want
