Surprise, surprise. According to Channel 4's political editor, Gary Gibbon, none other than Rupert Murdoch visited Downing Street on Tuesday. He supposedly arrived without fanfare "up the back stairs into No 10."

Gibbon reminds us that during one of his TV interviews in the campaign, David Cameron was asked - by Adam Boulton of Sky News, no less - whether the Tory leader would be able to resist the power of Murdoch.

Gibbon writes: "He said 'of course' if my memory serves." We, and the BBC and Ofcom, shall see.
