On the subject of newspaper front pages, a mate of mine works for Metro. She’s often told me that the business model of that paper has always been, despite who owns it, to be a politically neutral newspaper aiming at commuters of any political denomination who simply want a light read on the Tube.

It is therefore interesting that earlier this week they were about the strongest critic of Cummings, or as strong as any other paper anyway. Their front page on Tuesday was arguably the most incisive of all the papers

Metro.....

... politically neutral newspaper...

I've always got the impression it's only "politically neutral" so long as you regard the establishment / status quo as "non political" and it's only "political" if anyone - especially trade unions - try in any way to challenge it, with a strong chunk of celeb bollocks to try and take peoples' mind off it all.

Which in some ways is more pernicious than papers that blatantly say "vote tory"
 
Daily Star is still vile shite of course, but it holding an opinion critical of a right wing Tory government is refreshing, and will have made some of their readership choke on their bacon butty.

Not sure about, even Tory voters are pissed off Cummings, did you see that poll chart from the Mail posted on here a few days ago?

80% overall thought he had broken the rules, 73% of Tories said the same, the rest were mainly 'don't know/don't care', very few supporting him.

And, remember the Mail went in hard on Monday, with their first 10 pages attacking him!

Yes that’s certainly true, the Mail does sometimes break rank with the party line if they have a problem with something or someone. Though often I feel is less to do with principles, and more with the editor disliking a given individual for whatever reason.

The Sun and in particular the Telegraph however wouldn’t say a bad word about Boris or anyone in his circle if they were filmed throwing kittens into a deep fryer. The Telegraph has reached levels of arse kissing that makes the North Korean state television seen disloyal to the Great Leader by comparison.
