THAT painfully honest little newspaper, the Sun, was boiling with indignation yesterday about the case of the Tory minister who tried to smear Paddy Ashdown. […] Imagine, for instance, this call. […] K[elvin] M[acKenzie]: “Paddy Pantsdown? We done ’im already, Douggie. Don’t you read the Currant Bun?” […] Two weeks ago the editor of the Independent, a daily paper, was being screamed at by the Sun (aided by Britain’s biggest tabloid, the Sunday Times). Why? For having the unspeakable nerve to reveal all about Mrs Bottomley. We’ll get you, warned the Currant Bun.

After the bruising experience of Thursday morning, [Liz] Truss attempted a different tack, writing a piece for The Sun. In the article, which went online late on Friday evening, she told the paper’s readers that when she became Prime Minister, her government “could not afford to dither or delay”.

Shart
