If I were David Cameron today I would skip the Sunday papers and slope off down the pub to drown my sorrows. Little Georgie Osbourne was on Sunday AM but had to spend two-thirds of his interview gamely defending the Tories against allegations about Boris/Ray Lewis and sleaze.
The papers are full to bursting with stuff about Ray Lewis - that he did know about his suspension from ministering in the Church of England and a whole raft of new allegations. I think they should stop kicking Lewis but not Boris. An aide to Boris, Nick Boles, admits that the appointment of Lewis was done "in a bit of a rush".
There's also a whole pile of Tory sleaze allegations:
Observer: It emerged that the shadow chancellor, George Osborne, received a fee of £5,000-£10,000 for a speech to Jersey businessmen, despite Tory rules that shadow ministers should not be paid for speeches linked to their portfolios.
Mail on Sunday: Cameron lands in trouble over free flights from businessman
Sunday Mirror: Five top Tories in sleaze claims" - allegations about Osbourne, Grieve, Michael Gove, Andrew Mitchell and Tim Loughton. Some of these claims are a little feeble, it has to be said.
