The Mail on Sunday carries a picture of Mr Johnson and his partner taken the moment they heard the exit poll result on election night. The Sunday Telegraph has the same picture and says the Prime Minister is plotting a dramatic overhaul of Whitehall after his landslide election victory, in a drive to demonstrate that the Government “works for the people”.
