The award for worst article, and there some crackers here.

Daniel Boffey for his 20 shadow ministers story (presumably including Ed)

John Crace for proving conclusively satire, comedy and politics are not things he understands.

The Editor (whoever that is) for this random collection of words on a page.

John Crace deserves a 'shite of the year producer' award all to himself.

Given how bad Crace is, it speaks volumes that he is being outvoted 3 to 1 here :twisted:

That execrable pile of dung by Boffey remains one of the most dire things I have read in any newspaper ever.
