The rightwing press is splashing on Ed Miliband, but it’s only because of his meeting with Russell Brand. After Tuesday’s front page on ‘White Van Dan’ Ware’s support for David Cameron, the Sun heads into full attack mode on Labour. Headlined “Monster Raving Labour Party”, its splash focuses on the Labour leader’s online interview with the comic. It claims Miliband was “ridiculed” over his “desperate attempts to cosy up to loony leftie Russell Brand”. It continues: “The Labour leader was accused of putting on a ‘mockney’ accent when interviewed at the anti-capitalist comedian’s £2m London home.” On pages 4 and 5, the paper unveils the “six Edded beast”, with an image of a hydra-style creature with the heads of Miliband, Brand, Gerry Adams, Nicola Sturgeon and Len McCluskey. It claims Miliband has added Brand to “his band of far-left allies in his desperate bid to become PM”.
Coming up to the elections, certain newspapers are doing what they can in order to influence audiences to vote for their party. They are therefore trying to make Ed Miliband look bad.
