The press love a period drama, it's an easy thing to write about. They can use their English/History degree to critique it, and it's an excuse to have lots of pictures of ladies in pretty dresses and men in fancy uniforms.

Well yeah that's how promotion works innit! It's not coincidence when media outlets all start talking about the same thing at the same time. And then cartoons reference the stuff people are hearing about

Jim Murphy has lower approval ratings than Cameron in Scotland, it's hardly surprising.

One thing that I really love about the Guardian cartoonists is that they always portray reporters/press corps, like everyone else, in a negative light. Thats not really something you can find in the news anywhere else and its very refreshing.

I think it's meant to be mocking his ego and arrogance. You know, given he's publicly revealing something meant to be displayed if he wins the election, and Mac doesn't think he has a chance because his paper can't decide whether to stick its head up the familiar warmth and comfort of David Cameron's arse, or be daring and go for that outrageous fuckwit rogue Farage.

That, or if it is pro-Miliband, it'd have to be the most fellatory cartoon produced this side of the Atlantic.
