The Sun doesn't like it when celebs use well paid lawyers to avoid getting a prison sentence which seems a little bit rich given that the CEO of UK News Rebekah Brooks used very highly paid lawyers to avoid prison over her part in the phone hacking scandal.

Especially when it was the Sun that made them famous in the first place.

Has the sun withdrawn her "Stunna" status?

What I find interesting is that little box at top right - "Avoid the pub and save Christmas". Haven't we heard this before? March 2020: "Pubs can stay open but we recommend you don't go in them". That worked so well last time, didn't it. And it wasn't Christmas last time. They've learned nothing.

This front page from last Wednesday hasn't aged too well.

Yeah it amused me when I saw it and then remembered it the day after when she started to row back on her engagements.

Safe to say there'll be no Pulitzers for Mr Slack. This is such a shit Watergate, the Sun is the Washington Post employing Nixon's burglars

And to top it off they’ve gone on the attack re-reporting a 2 year old story of Starmer having a drink while with one other potentially a couple of staff.

If I’m honest it Looks like what Johnson believes his parties to be, a beer during or after a work meeting. A case load of wine and a DJ in taxpayers paid property during a lockdown it is not.

“They’re all at it” is the only pot shot left to take. And blame the BBC for shit stirring.

Great work here.

Even if it is the Tories, the Sun usually piles in on a juicy government scandal. This distraction headline just looks weird, when even Aunt Beryl is furious at Bozo. Since when did Murdoch stand by a sinking ship?

Surprised no one posted Thursdays woeful cover that required a degree in political communication/media to kind of get it (well you would assume so but as someone who has I couldn’t tell you what the hell it was).

It involved a pie.

Was this to do with the MP for Melton Mowbray, the home of the pork pie?

It is. Even Mafia hoodlums think up more creative nick names.

It was "Crust Ahead" - do they mean to riff on cruising ahead (not really)? Just ahead (a generous interpretation)? Who knows?

Yes, but every party I organise, I always insist on pork pies

Even taking into account that it had been given that nickname none of it made sense as pointed out no one was sure what “crust ahead” meant.

I saw it as a pun on 'just ahead' but why they'd use that phrase was beyond me, and presumably way, way beyond Sun readers, unless they thought "Hur hur, a pork pie, 'e's a ledg."

Like the Sun’s front page, Harry would be better keeping mum about this fiasco

More sad and upsetting news

They said by getting rid of James that the future Murdochs would keep their newspapers, I doubt it.

Can make a case for the Times
