Labour reading

Sir: I was amused to read Paul Johnson's comments (The press, 19 January) on what newspapers Labour voters read. About 25 years ago I was staying in St Anton in winter for the skiing. My visit to the local newspaper kiosk used to coincide with that of the improbable figure of Herbert Morri- son. I was somewhat shocked to see that the only newspaper he ever bought was the Daily Express.
