Paper Monitor

15:55 UK time, Friday, 8 February 2013

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

When it comes to the tabloids' favourite Friday fodder, it doesn't get much better than a snap of a famous politician in a not-so photographic pose.

So it's hardly surprising that the red-tops had a field day when a fellow traveller snapped David Miliband caught napping on the London Underground.

"Mind the gap... David Miliband caught napping (and unzipped)" the Daily Mail says, revealing that the former Foreign Secretary was not only asleep, but seemingly also unaware that his flies were down.

"Politicians, as a general rule, enjoy being photographed on public transport. It enhances their green credentials and man-of-the-people appeal. At least David can console himself with the thought that the snap may finally draw attention away from his banana-brandishing moment at the Labour conference in 2008."

However the Daily Express thinks

"To add to the politician's embarrassment, Miliband was slumped in a seat reserved for disabled and elderly passengers, although the Tube was not busy at the time."

The picture was apparently taken at 3pm.

Paper Monitor thinks there may be some upsides to commuting in the rush hour.
