The Mirror reports that civil war is engulfing Conservative Campaign Headquarters in Victoria.

A "senior Tory" tells the paper that morale is at "rock bottom".

Following the arrival of Australian spinner Lynton Crosby, a campaign source says the party's co-chairman, Lord Saatchi, was "cast into outer darkness."

"It is a nightmare and the idea of putting up with these warring egos until election day makes me feel sick."
