The Sun, the largest popular newspaper in the UK, has come out tonight strongly backing Labour to win the general election expected early May.

With no mention of Europe anywhere, it heaps praise on praise for Gordon Brown's budget.

"It's in the bag, Tony" is the headline.

While there is doubt about the enthusiasm of Labour supporters to vote, the budget appears to have appealed to some core Labour voters, and to have alienated none of the electorate.

The decision of the Sun is the single most important fact determining the outcome of this year's General Election in the UK.
