Today's papers


The launch of the Tory manifesto is covered on many of the front pages.

According to the Guardian

David Cameron set out his political vision for Britain today with a bold attempt to cast himself as a unifying national figure and a promise to floating voters that the Conservative party had abandoned its nostalgia for "bygone days".

According to the Telegraph,the manifesto placed responsibility and self-reliance at the heart of the nation's regeneration.

Mr Cameron said he was issuing the "biggest call to arms our country has seen in a generation" as he urged the nation to help open up "government and public services and our whole political system".says the Independent

The Mirror accuses David Cameron of using his election campaign to plug firms which back his cynical National Insurance policy.

He has been pictured at firms such as Jewson, run by bosses who support his plan to halt an NI rise.


According to the Times and its latest opinion poll

Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg go into tomorrow’s historic televised debate facing a wall of public antipathy amid a tightening race.


The poll says the paper,reveals deep disenchantment with the campaign so far and high levels of scepticism about manifesto pledges and the parties’ honesty.

Both the Mail and the Express focus on the news that civil servants have gone on a multi-billion pound expenses spree using credit cards paid for by the taxpayer

In 2009 alone they spent almost £1billion, four times as much as in 2002 and enough to pay the salaries of 50,000 nurses. Since 2002, the total has reached £5billion.says the Mail

Whilst the Express says

As the economy crashed and hard-working Britons were hit by the recession, 141,000 high-ranking public sector workers went on a huge spending spree, including dining at top restaurants on their “perk” cards.
