Print baron may back Sir Keir Starmer if he looks like a ‘certain winner’ at the next election, says media mogul’s biographer
Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers could switch allegiance to Labour at the next election, the media mogul’s biographer has predicted.
Michael Wolff said the print baron may decide to back Sir Keir Starmer’s bid for No 10 if it looks like he is going to be “a certain winner”.
Mr Murdoch’s company News UK owns four print titles in Britain – The Sun, The Sun on Sunday, The Times and The Sunday Times.
All those newspapers have backed the Tories at the last four elections and losing any of their support would be a major blow to Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister.
