Paper Monitor

12:55 UK time, Monday, 5 October 2009

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

With the Conservative Party's annual autumn conference under way, the knives are out in several of the papers - for Andrew Marr. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ interviewer's interrogation of David Cameron, on his Sunday morning politics TV show, came a week after he had asked Gordon Brown whether he was on medication. It was a line of questioning which met with a more hostile response from elements of the press than from the interviewee himself.

Yesterday, Marr decided to ask Mr Cameron about his personal wealth and his appearance in a university-days photograph as part of the Bullingdon Club.

It's generally thought that the picture has not been Mr Cameron's finest public relations moment, but its impact has been reduced by the fact for its use in news media.

All of which makes discussion of the image, and by association Marr's line of questioning, a little difficult in today's papers. Although maybe no -one told the Daily Telegraph, which reproduces the picture anyway.

Pictorially, the Daily Mail is more interested in what Mrs Cameron was sporting as she strolled hand-in-hand with her husband yesterday. Fashion editor Natalie Theo says Mrs C has pulled off quite a fashion coup - donning an outfit that is "bang on trend" while deploying a "simple sophistication [that] appeals to mature female voters".

Theo has helpfully costed the entire outfit, naming where the various come from... should anyone want to "get the look".

Not even Mrs C's tattoo ruins the look, says Theo - rather it's a "cheeky" twist" that proves "Samantha is both comfortable with and confident about the fact that she has a tattoo in the first place".

Only don't go getting any ideas, readers.
