As Next Left points out, the story doesn’t have a name to it – just the generic “Daily Mail reporter” by-line. I wonder why?

UPDATE: As pointed out by several people on Twitter, the News of the World ran a similar piece first.

UPDATE 2: And as for Jan Moir’s contribution: sigh.

    Its just spin – a total non-story, & I’m not a LibDem fanboi. But I am appalled at the pro-Tory spin pouring out from the usual suspects. Only the TV news seems balanced now

    The NOTW exclusive was even trashier listing (with photos) some items she could have bought.
