The Prime Minister insisted that voters and not newspapers decided the Government, urging people to take a close look at his policies. .
In a round of broadcast interviews, Mr Brown said: "It's the British people that decide the election, it's the British people's views that I am interested in." .
Mr Brown told GMTV: "I think Sun readers actually, when they look at what I say, they will agree with what I said." .
Asked whether the tabloid's support could decide the next General Election, as it was reputed to have done in 1992 by condemning Labour's leader Neil Kinnock, Mr Brown replied: "No." The Sun's front page switch of allegiance to the Tories after 12 years - headlined "Labour's Lost It" - was seemingly timed to overshadow the PM's crucial speech to the party conference in Brighton on Tuesday.
How significant is it that The Sun has withdrawn its support for Labour? Is it another nail in the coffin for the Labour party? What impact will it have on Labour's chances at the next election?
