The Spectator on the PM's plane

James Forsyth 6:15pm

This week The Spectator endorsed the Tories and David Cameron. Our cover headline read, ‘Give Cameron the keys.’ Now, I doubt that Gordon Brown was too surprised to miss out on The Spectator endorsement. But I must admit to being rather amused to hear that a copy of The Spectator was provided in every seat back pocket on the flight that the PM took up to Scotland.

Update: Our newly Tweeting editor, directs me to a pic of the magazine on the Twitter feed of Sky's Niall Paterson

At least he did not have to go out and buy it. You would not want to be tainted by the curse of Jonah.

Was Ed Balls on the plane? Has anyone seen him?

They probably thought they might pick up some useful tips for their Manifesto, they certainly won't get any from within the labour Party !

This has made me think of "The Usual Suspects" line-up scene.

It might as well be a pre-election simulcast by five party leaders

"Hand me the keys..." at gunpoint.

I'm so glad Fraser has joined the conversation on Twitter, but at the moment he seems to be set on send and has forgotten that it's SOCIAL media and you need to recieve too!

Perhaps Brown ordered them because throwing mobilephones on aircraft is dangerous.
