Tory Newspapers Turn On Cameron in Wake of Gay Marriage Vote

GUARDIAN – GREENSLADE BLOG: Newspapers that generally support the Tory party have never been wildly enthusiastic about David Cameron. Now, on the evidence of today's leading articles and commentaries, they appear wholly hostile.

The Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph carry extremely critical editorials, as does The Sun. And the Daily Express weighs in with a short rebuff. The Times, more measured as always, advises the prime minister to show greater leadership.

To make matters worse for Cameron, there is yet more favourable press publicity for Ukip, the upstart party now apparently attracting support from disaffected Tories.

I was amused by the Mail's reference to "press baron Lord Beaverbrook" in the intro of its leading article. » | Roy Greenslade | Tuesday, May 21, 2013
