So, Labour has a new Leader (hurrah!) and the first thing the Daily Nazi says about him?

'He's living out of wedlock him you know....ooooooh'

Well, I have to ask, so what? Why is Marriage such a big thing to the right wing gutter press? If his relatonship is stable and happy, does it really matter whether some mumbo-jumbo has been said and a piece of paper dished out?

Seriously? What's the big fething deal?

Because everyone at the Daily Scumbag is either happily married and never ever unfaithfull, or they are virgins saving themselves for their beloved future spouses.

Ditto all their nice readers.

Hurrah for the (Doris) Daily Maily

It's funny isn't it? I said the same thing about Cameron meeting with Murdoch.

Of course, it absolutely ISN'T a big deal that he isn't married, but to take us back to the subject of 'undue influence', how do you feel about a Labour leader that's firmly in the back pocket of the unions? I mean, I love the '70s as much as the next guy, but....

Is he though?

And I'd rather have a Leader friendly to Unions (who you know look after the little man. In theory at least) than one jumping into bed with a non-Citizen Media Magnate.

And this is a totally different thing. He's not married, so what? If that's the best dirt the Daily Arsehole can come up with, he must be pretty squeaky clean.

Cos the Unions have so much more influence these days than Murdo

Yes. He wouldn't have won without widespread support from them. They own him now. The other Miliband was more popular with the parliamentary party and the wider membership, meaning that if Ed doesn't play ball, and the unions stop favouring him, his party mandate would dissolve.

Are you aware of New Labour's relationship with the Tabloids? Tony Blair courted Murdoch too, y'know.

Yeah, it's not a big deal at all. I was just using it as an excuse to bring this up, to be honest.

Then we'll leave that part of it there then.
