    So the English Sun goes one way and the Scottish Sun the other in backing the SNP as Star Wars characters and telling its readers to vote for them.

    In Govan, Glasgow I ask ScotLab leader which papers are supporting his party in Scotland and he laughs:

    “Well we are starting with Channel 4 then we will work out from there.”

    Laughing is what Jim Murphy does a lot of at the moment. The worse the ambient sound gets for his party from the polls, the more Sunny Jim’s mood improves.

    I am not alone in noticing that the final ScotLab poster is the wrong way round.

    The Labour way is pointing backwards – the SNP way is looking forwards.

    Dear oh dear – who’s idea was that?
