Breaking news from the Land of the Dead Tree Press tonight – the graveyard shift of the newspaper reviews on 24 hour news channels bring us this devastating news for McDoom. Iain Dale MP will be cursing that he has the night off.

With the headline “Labour’s Lost It” The Sun says that the paper “wot won it” for Labour at the last three elections is deserting the party and endorsing the Conservatives. George Pascoe-Watson, the paper’s Political Editor is on Sky News at the moment citing Brown’s failure to address their readers’ concerns about Europe, the EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty and the treatment of our Armed Forces as being among the reasons for it switching its support to the Conservatives.

Remember the headline asking that in the event of a Labour victory the would the last person in Britain please turn the lights out? Like it or not, newspapers wield a huge amount of influence and this switch is a major blow to the last stragglers holding out in the No10 Fuhrerbunker. Buy shares in Nokia!
