Is the Sun about to switch allegiences

As Guido points out,Rupert Murdoch

told a Lords Select Committee last year that whereas he does not interfere in his broadsheets, he acts as "a traditional proprietor" with his tabloids.


So the fact that the Sun is this morning endorsing Boris as the next mayor of London means that perhaps the Murdoch empire is shifting to the Tories?

Its editorial says

Boris may not be a political heavyweight. And his public image, that of an Old Etonian buffoon, belies his great intelligence.
He is smart and bursting with good ideas. We admire this intellectual energy and his new policies to reform the city of London
