Yesterday the papers were falling over themselves to praise Gordon Brown's handling of the crisis; today it is the turn of the new home secretary, Jacqui Smith, to bask in the honeymoon glow the new government is enjoying.
The papers like the tone of her emergency statement to parliament on the plots.
Like Mr Brown, Ms Smith is also enjoying favourable comparisons with her predecessor.
Writing in the Telegraph, Rachel Sylvester says: "Ms Smith's reassuring manner could not be more different to the testosterone-charged attitude of her predecessor, John Reid. Instead of stoking up public fears, she has sounded rational ... She did not talk about a 'war on terror', send tanks to Heathrow or promise a 10-point plan."
In similar vein, Quentin Letts in the Daily Mail says: "She did no tweaking of the neck or glowering or grinding of teeth, as Mr Reid almost undoubtedly would have done." He even tips her as the next Labour leader.
Ann Treneman in the Times describes Ms Smith performance as the least frightening of any home secretary in living memory.
But Simon Hoggart in the Guardian isn't quite so kind. He says: "Her tone was of a Women's Institute secretary explaining the arrangements for a the fete in the event of rain."
