There is a rumour in the Times office that Gove is line for a senior role at the title. Gove was assistant editor of the paper before becoming an MP, and remains an ally of owner Rupert Murdoch. When Gove spoke to Donald Trump for the paper in 2017, Murdoch sat in to watch. Murdoch later reportedly lobbied Theresa May to give Gove a cabinet post.
