Theresa May

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

We look to the British newspapers to address the burning issue of yesterday. Not sexism, phone hacking or economic gloom, but something equally demanding of attention - Home Secretary Theresa May's extraordinary jacket.

To Paper Monitor, it . To the Daily Mail: "Her garish outfit was perhaps more suited to a children's entertainer than to one of the most senior women in British politics making an [sic] statement to the Commons on terror laws."

Seeing as portrayal of women is in the news at the moment, here's a quick quiz: Which paper has the most shots of cleavage* in the first 10 pages today?

A) The Sun

B) Daily Mirror

C) Daily Telegraph

D) Daily Mail

It's the Daily Telegraph of course.

The cleavages in question belong to Elle Macpherson, Padma Lakshmi, Keeley Hawes and a 17-year-old public schoolgirl convicted of careless driving over a fatal accident.

The Sun features the decolletage of Myleene Klass, Holly Willoughby and the naked chest of Kelly, 20, from Daventry.

The Mail also has Klass and Willoughby, as well as Richard Keys' daughter. The Mirror has Klass and Alesha Dixon.

Time for the Telegraph picture desk to have a bit of high-fiveing, or look a bit sheepish?

* As defined in fairly loose terms by Paper Monitor.
