He's a Eurosceptic. I don't think this is good news. Actually, wherever he was wouldn't be good news

Demos (inc police injuries and arrests) are on BBC News 24 ticker (BBC 1 news only just starting, other channels don't have news on Saturdays). The defacing of the war memorial isn't mentioned, but the pix are on the online sites of print media.

I'm surprised they didn't leave Gove as Whip, because of what is needed when there is you job a slender majority.

Anyone hearing about the London riots? Not on BBC news but is being reported by the mirror....

It's not the Police - they are under the Home Secretary.

Quick google - three possible policies are:

eu referendum
greater powers to "snoop"
Pulling out of Human Rights Act

All Ministry of Justice stuff? Need a hard hitter in charge?

Well, to be fair, he won't be able to do a worse job than Grayling.

Oh dear. This is not good news.

Sentencing.
Prisons.
Police.
Courts service
Legal aid (though it's agency)

Gove will be a huge liability.
