Story: The Duchess of York accepts £27,000 from an undercover News of the World journalist posing as a rich businessman apparently in exchange for securing access to Prince Andrew, and hints that she could do even more for £500,000.

Headline (The Sun):

Oh the greedy old Duchess of York,

She had 27 grand,

She tried to make Them pay half a Mill,

Now she’s leaving Eng-er-land

But there can only be one winner and this month the bottle of Jura single malt whisky goes, perhaps surprisingly, to a broadcaster for the first time.

Channel 4 News is the winner for an on-screen headline which very neatly summed up the political situation on 7 May.

HUNG DRAWN AND COURTED

A bottle of the good stuff is its to ITN HQ at Gray’s Inn Road.
