The prime minister's government reshuffle still dominates the headlines.

The People claims the return of Peter Mandelson is a "seismic event" at the top of the political Richter scale.

Nothing left to lose

The Sunday Times sets a musical tone, and wonders if the return of Mr Mandelson and other former Labour ministers makes the government now a supergroup - or simply a sad tribute act.

The Sunday Telegraph says that, really, it just reveals a prime minister with nothing left to lose.

The News of the World is impressed by Mr Brown's reshuffle and said he has strengthened his power base.

But the Independent on Sunday is not convinced, calling the move to bring back Mr Mandelson either an act of desperation, or inspiration.

The Independent also wonders what it means for the Tory party and reports David Cameron's team are struggling to come back with a sharp enough retort.

The Telegraph claims a reshuffle of the Tory shadow cabinet is next.

Police roles

The resignation of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, has also excited the Sunday papers.

The Independent reckons the second in command at Scotland Yard, Sir Paul Stephenson, is the hot favourite.

But the Mail on Sunday suggests the former chief constable of the Thames Valley force, Peter Neyroud, may get the job.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Express reports American football star OJ Simpson's luck has finally run out after he was found guilty of robbery 13 years after he was acquitted of murder.

Tasty dishes

The Observer takes a look at celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal's new cookery book. It's 500 pages long, costs £100 and includes some rather odd recipes - one calls for unusual ingredients such as spray-dried carrot powder.

Meanwhile, the two candidates in the US presidential election are preparing for their second televised debate on Tuesday.

The Times reports that John McCain is planning to get tough with his rival, Barack Obama, in the closing weeks of the campaign.

But it says there are differences of opinion within Mr McCain's campaign about how aggressive he should be.
