Labour MPs disagree with Ed Miliband over The Sun

Ed Miliband appears to have had a sudden change of heart about The Sun. After calling for Rupert Murdoch’s empire to be dismantled, the Labour leader has endorsed The Sun’s World Cup special today.

And finally, let’s not forget Gloria de Piero, the shadow’s women minister who recently filled in for Louise Mensch in the Sun on Sunday. She had the nerve today to retweet a slogan from No to Page 3 today.
