The Sunday Times today spotlights two more Labour ex-ministers who are keen to be 'cabs for hire' - former defence minister Adam Ingram and former sports minister Richard Caborn. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article7076041.ece
**
Let's see how this is covered by the biased BBC.
*
9.40 am (BST!) The story is now being reported by the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/7531303/Two-more-former-ministers-Adam-Ingram-and-Richard-Caborn-embroiled-in-Lobbygate.html
*
It is also one of the TOP STORIES on the Sky News website: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Two-Former-Labour-Ministers-Recorded-Apparently-Offering-Contacts-And-Expertise-For-Cash/Article/201003415585984?lpos=Politics_Carousel_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15585984_Two_Former_Labour_Ministers_Recorded_Apparently_Offering_Contacts_And_Expertise_For_Cash *
*
Even the Observer reports the story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/mar/28/lobbying-sting-former-labour-ministers
*
Surprise, suprise - still nothing on the BBC News website! (Are they waiting until they get the official Labour line?)
*
10.50 am Though the headline is of kind you might expect the BBC to use, (Two more 'in lobbying scandal'), even the pro-Labour Independent now carries the Labour-embarrassing story
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/two-more-in-lobbying-scandal-1929560.html
*
Only the BBC website is still staying silent.
