We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment -

Theresa May reinforces her intention to serve a full five-year

term as Prime Minister, despite losing the Conservative

She says it's time to focus on the job at hand.

What I'm feeling is that actually there was a job to be done and what

the public want is to government is getting on

The Prime Minister's former rival for the top job, Michael Gove,

makes a surprise return to cabinet as Environment Secretary

Police investigating the Manchester concert bombing say they're

And further success for France's Emmanuel Macron.

The president's party looks set to secure a big majority

in the first round of the country's parliamentary elections.

I'm terribly sorry, we seem to be having all sorts of issues

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are Economic Adviser for Arbuthnot Ruth Lea,

The I leads with the news that one of the big hitters of the Leave

campaign is back in government as Michael Gove is made

The Metro uses George Osborne's description of the Prime Minister

as a 'dead woman walking' for its headline, with the former

Chancellor saying she could be out within days.

The Express focuses on Boris Johnson's plea to the party

to get behind the Prime Minister over fears Tory infighting

over her leadership will damage the party further.

The Telegraph's reports that Michael Gove has been drafted

in to protect Theresa May from any potential leadership challenges,

the paper claiming it's the Prime Minister's way of showing

The Times claims the promotion of Remainer Damien Green

to First Secretary of State is a sign her position

on Brexit is softening, with a possible rethink on remaining

The Guardian says the Prime Minister plans to win back support

from her party by adopting a more collegiate style of leadership

following criticism that senior colleagues had been shut out

While the Daily Mail says she will go even further,

let's begin. We'll start with the Financial Times. Showdown for

stepping up a push he couldn't avoid a certain amount of schadenfreude,

not just today but also when George Osborne was part of on he was

looking terribly tragically upset. Was he really looking no. Not at any

point? But this is there was a bit of regret in his voice but is unsure

what must have been going through his mind was: if I had stayed in

politics I could have him there, I'm sure he could is probably getting

last year. The Tory party will want to settle down and let the dust

dramatically to change the way in dramatically to change the way in

which the governed. The gruesome twosome have gone, Nick Timothy and

Fiona hill. I love the shambles but for the sake

of the country, we need the House to it is quite intelligent, her enemies

an Damian I was looking at the BBC interview earlier, she has learned

nothing. Her apologise for her mistakes,

sound like a human being. She is the personality she is and but she does

have to change the way she governs which is to Iraq a

Key Tories are apoplectic at what has happened. I am convinced she

will stay for a while, let the dust settle and then they will take it

from there. Will she not stay until they can replace her safely? I think

she will wait for the party conference. I cannot see that she is

learning anything. Those two people she brought in were advisers and it

is so easy to blame them and the sack them, but actually the

essential problem is within her own personality. Jeremy Corbyn changed

even within a couple of weeks, he understood how he was presenting

himself, how he came across, why can't she change? It was one thing

to run a department the way she did, where it was thorough and the

methodical but you can't run the government the same way, that's a

huge adjustment for anybody. The Home Office was the same story.

There were so many people. I know a couple of people who left the Home

Office and there were no sense that a civil servant could contribute to

her thinking. The thinking with Margaret Thatcher was, I wasn't a

Thatcherite but... Won't you? No. Believe it or not. But she did know

how to work with the best brains of this country. Whether they were

academics of civil servants, she knew had to use them. Theresa May

doesn't. She will be there for a while. Let's look at the express.

Boris says Tory MPs must back in May. There were couple of her

clients money, Yasmin, that suggested that Boris were either

being encouraged or running towards Prime Minister. People get crossed

that he is reduced to one lane. -- one name. He is responsible for

all sorts of tricks Yunis. It is a bit like a Shakespeare play, you

have to read into the words and into the opposite of the work. I think,

this is the problem. Boris or Reza? Who would rather... Goodness,

Theresa May any time. You don't need any challengers at the moment do

they? You have the 's speech next week, Brexit negotiations in nine

days' time. The same day as the Queen's speech. You don't need any

more upheaval. No. I will repeat what I have said, she will be there

for a while, let the dust settled, let the Queen's speech take place,

get the Brexit negotiations get going and the European Commission

has already to go. They are ready. We will get but going. I can only

repeat that. She will stay for the time being. Her stance on Brexit

will have two softened. We will see. Damien is not a hard Brexit. He is a

Remainer. It depends what you mean by hard Brexit. What's Theresa May

suggested when she sent her a letter to Donald Tusk worksheets

50 was out of the single market. We want to be able to negotiate our

trade deals and Liam Fox would have a job. Economically, that is a

mistake. We need to be able to negotiate our own trade deals with

parts of the world. She said that but she did say she wanted a close

trade relationship and security relationship with the European

Union. But it's not up to her is it? It has to be negotiated. There was

one cycle of the EU and the other side called... It's Michelle who is

acting for the EU 27. I don't think it will shift. Are you a May-ite? I

want to leave the single market and the customs union. You're wrong on

three towns! -- free listen to other countries drifting.

Soft Brexit is the way forward. You don't dismiss the single market. Why

should we stay in the single market? Is because we get so much trade. We

can have this argument in a second but you can't decide that those are

the ways that are best for our country. We have at the hubris of

the Conservative Party, including new, it has to be tempered. You

can't tell me we stay in the single market. We will still trade with

them and have access. They want a trip with us... Kenya motorist

Jeremy Corbyn... We also -- can you imagine if Jeremy

Corbyn... We are so weak now... It's going to be a beneficial

negotiation. I wish I wish to speak to you a year from

now. It's great, I've got nothing to do tonight. The IRA.

The i say Michael Gove is back in the Environment Secretary. That is

quite important. And please is back because he's a good communicator and

I saw he was doing the rounds on Thursday night, he's been very

loyal. I'm glad he's back and obviously Theresa May might have had

to appoint a bit of a sacking in of the cheeks, if you get my drift, but

he's now back and we Elizabeth Truss, Liddington, a new DWP

secretary. Damian Green has gone to be Deputy Prime Minister. He's a

done does -- don't underestimate. He's a nice person. As for gof, I

wouldn't put on that side of the category. I think she's brought in

people she doesn't trust which is quite clever. Isn't it a bit of a

taste of your own medicine when Boris Johnson was made Foreign

Secretary, you've helped create some of this uncertainty is to help tidy

it up. On the front page of The i, I'm looking to this. I think Ruth

Davidson... Are we moving onto the next story: Psycho if you want to

see what if you want to see what a good Tory

leader sounds like... Her name is Bruce. I can spell it. -- roof.

Kind of Brexit is she talking about? And open Brexit, what does that

mean? I think what Theresa May suggested with a close free trade

agreement plus an agreement on security was a sensible way forward.

But we have had this argument. You don't think that's the end of it?

What can I say about Ruth Davidson. She is very feisty, she's terrific,

she won an expert of seats in Scotland, can you imagine what would

have happened with 306 as opposed to the arms and eight? And she's cross

about the DUP deal? That's partly her personal life. She is the story

of the modern age. I have a huge amount of time for Ruth. She needs

to be brought into the tent, involved in the negotiations because

she is their staff. Love bond? Love bond. When people are nice to you.

That's not a word I expected you to use -- love-bombed. She might be

leader of the party one day but she'll have two be in Westminster

not MSP. The other thing on this front page, confusion reigns over

controversial DUP deal. We talked yesterday evening doing my shift on

the news channel that the DUP had in principle agreed an outline

arrangement of confidence and supply, and then in the car on the

way home, it said it's not the case at all. You wonder how that could

happen got so wrong. It just won't work. You have Sinn Fein. Although

I'm on the left, I do find it shocking that Sinn Fein receives

salaries for not doing the job. They've got to do this. They owe us

all. The parliament into which they are elected. They can't just sit it

out. The whole thing, the game between them and the DUP which is at

a crucial stage in Northern Ireland, power-sharing. It's going to break

apart. That was based on the idea that the British Government was

neutral. If we go back to the controversial DUP deal. Isa is that

what is happening is the DUP is wondering what is the mount is going

to be. And it's going to make demands because even with only ten

seats they are the kingmakers. They went from having a minority

government to be a quasi majority government. I am thinking, what do

they want? Tories will think this is a bad idea? Gordon Brown for the DUP

were OK? I'm not Gordon Brown. It's a bad idea. For Theresa May... Our

values and their values are at odds. For Theresa May it is the least

worst option. Like I said, the Sinn Fein situation... The Good Friday

agreement. You can't stuff all that. Let's look at the Metro. Corbyn says

he's ready for another election, looking relaxed this morning on the

TV. He had a good campaign, did he not? Eventually. An excellent

campaign. This is well going to agree with Yasmin. So be careful.

Should shake my hand now. He had a terrific campaign and yes, he did

change terrain but even so, he's a natural campaigner and he played to

his strengths and the manifesto played to Labour's friends. There

was positive, the future, trying to be all-encompassing. It was the

opposite of the Tory campaign, which was wooden and negative. So I think

Ella fantastic campaign. Whether he's ready for another election, I

don't know. What will it be like being in power

negotiating Brexit with its complexities? It's a good question.

Answer it. It depends. This is going to change our story and our history

forever. So you could say that there hasn't been a better time. For our

leader to make our mark on history. This is the time in history changes.

But they didn't win. He said himself. Any reader. Talking to

Andrew Mark this morning, Corbyn said I didn't win. He didn't have

the numbers. Compared to what he might have got, it was an

extraordinary result. But however they build on the momentum that they

had I think some of the sulking new

Labour MPs had better get out of their boxes now. They will. They

dissed it and dissed it and lots of people are apologising. I Watson

what Jones. He apologised. Maybe there will be a party coming

together. He had a terrific campaign that is dull and that with 262 seats

it is well short of a majority. -- campaign that was excellent. They

won Kensington. Kensington! That was the last one and it had endless

recounts. It was still 262 seats, even if they went along with a

Coalition with the Liberals, who only got 12, SNP had a disappointing

night with 35. That would only make 309. Even the prospect of a

Coalition of chaos or what we want to call it, the truth is, he's a

politician and politicians want power. How quickly might be and that

with an election? This year? I think so. The chaos is within the Tories,

now. It's a mess. They have to find a way of sorting it out. Do voters

want to go to the polls again? Attic people are fed up with it. If the

DUP deal sticks, it was a confidence and supply deal, if there's a

no-confidence vote than the DUP will support the Tories. Under those

circumstances, if that works, this government could continue for some

time. Do you know there are so many national protests already building

up against the DUP deal? Even so, I think it will go ahead. You

mentioned Sinn Fein, the fact they don't turn up as useful. I hope they

turn up, it's time. They're not going to. Who wouldn't want that

job? You get paid every year. And they're sitting there doing nothing.

I'm sorry, time to come and do a job. Meanwhile, on the other side of

the Channel, Macron is set for a second landslide in France. Low

turnout but it could be heading for somewhere around 440 seats out of

577. From a party, Ruth, that was only formed a year ago. It's

staggering. It tells you how we'd all the other parties are, the

traditional parties. And the Socialist Party has almost been

blown out of the water. Because of an appalling president, I don't

know. Macron has picked the moment right. That there are times in

countries where they say, this is the man to take us forward. And

Emmanuel Macron seems to have picked up moment. And he's a centrist. He

is a mixture. In some ways, he's quite like Tony Blair. He pleases

various wings on the spectrum because he's not a socialist. He was

in the Bosworth the government? he's a global capitalist, all those

things. You said that with almost... I wish I was 21 again. I never grew

up from 21, hate it all. But the problem. That's why we're pleased to

see you. I am a capitalist. No shame capitalist. I think he's managed but

the good news is he's a total EU believe. And he's saying he doesn't

want to see any concessions to anyone who leaves. They tend to

forget it's not on our hands. The other thing is, when we thought the

neofascists were going to take over France. I never thought the

neofascists would. You don't have to talk about the pen do you? -- Marine

Le Pen do you? There will be negotiations had greatly beneficial

agreement made. But the established parties are saying he's not

democracy if it's not a landslide. They are not happy. Because they

can't be held to account. Because you want to I think the shift in

Europe is important and are hoping the good news from Germany doing the

election. It felt like the extreme right was sweeping. Merkel will win.

I hope they stick with the six principles and don't give us an easy

ride but other thing we understand. In the words of my colleague, Mishal

Husain, please stop talking. That's it for the papers. All of them all

online, you can read it seven days a week. We're back at 11:30pm. I'm

going home. No you're not. Bar the door.
