And the Daily Mail's readership massively skews towards older women who love animals, which means a key Tory-voting demographic have spent the whole weekend reading about a politician who used his hard-earned money to set up a donkey sanctuary for his sick mum. Do you think they're going to be remotely outraged or horrified by that? As Napoleon (supposedly) said, "never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake." And this is the Mail making a mistake. You don't even need to convert their readers; you just need them to become so jaded with their own party and indifferent towards Labour that they stay at home on polling day, and if their newspaper is helping to achieve that, then so much the better.
