Power without responsibility

Much excitement over the fact that a right wing newspaper owned by a wealthy foreigner will be urging its readers to vote Tory at the next election.

But I thought this was the most interesting report to come out of this:

"It is rumoured that The Sun had made it clear that it would not back the party as long as Dominic Grieve remained Shadow Home Secretary. The previous Sun Editor, Rebekah Wade had made that clear after an unhappy dinner she had had with the man now moved to the Justice portfolio."

That's not a rumour started by bitter Labour activists, but comes from Tim Montgomerie of Conservative Home. And it isn't a complaint - Tim seems to think it is perfectly normal that David Cameron would move his ministers if they upset Murdoch's minions over dinner.
