News International is far too toxic, quite apart from how it looks when leading politicians start posing with particular newspapers.

I don't like Miliband..... Not at all..... But this criticism seems a tad unfair. This is just the way politicians show support for the national team during international tournaments. Yes, some people hate the Sun for what they reported in the 80's, but it seems unreasonable to harass someone for agreeing or supporting a sentiment most of the nation would agree with.

Didn't know people had resigned, though Ed's inability to look human doesn't help...

Cameron and Clegg also posed with the paper. I wondered why they all did that, why they were effectively endorsing a tabloid. I expect a “no show” would guarantee no support from Murdoch next year.
