What the papers say – July 7 (PA)
A “mortally wounded” Boris Johnson is splashed across the front pages as he battles to keep himself in the top job amid mass resignations.
The Financial Times reports the politician has been “rocked” by a Cabinet revolt, while The Sun has the headline “You’ll have to dip your hands in blood to get rid of me” and The Independent refers to the episode as the “bitter end”.

Shadow business secretary defends Labour's approach to cost-of-living crisis Pressed about Labour’s plans to deal with the rising cost of energy, shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds told the BBC: “I think you have got to say that in opposition you have got to make the point consistently and regularly, not just for an intervention but for exactly what you would do. “That is what we have had from Keir and the Labour Party from the beginning of this year.”
