May 05, 2007…and another classic bit of old media punditry from Alex Bell:
Guardian Media Section,
Monday April 30This week voters north of the border will decide who to elect to the Scottish parliament, but despite the SNP’s popularity in the polls, not a single newspaper will back it, reports Alex Bell
Four Sunday newspapers in Scotland had endorsed an SNP-led coalition the day before: the Sunday Times, Scotland on Sunday, Sunday Herald and Sunday Express. As reported here.

Iain Dale has shredded a so-bad-it-is-bonkers article by Melissa Kite-Flier on the shape of the Tory re-shuffle. Honestly some of these dead-tree-press types seem to write any old crap.
