Mirror pulls a U-turn on Cameron

It's official. The Daily Mirror appears to have patched things up with Conservative leader David Cameron. Months of clashes, plus a failed attempt to smooth things over with a meeting between editor Richard Wallace and the Tory leader, culminated with a spectacular front page condemnation last week after Cameron cycled the wrong way up a one-way street and through two red lights. But in today's Mirror, detente is very much in the air, with a double-page spread from fetching reporter Julie McCaffrey, who was assigned to cycle with the great leader to work through Notting Hill to Westminster. Dare Monkey suggest the hand of Andy Coulson at work in all of this? Writes Julie: "God help me, I'm appalled that I'm thinking of the Conservative leader this way - but I note that he has a rather nice bum." In the week that the Sarkozy-Bruni visit to the UK has raised political celebrity to new heights, there can be no higher praise.
