Pot and Kettle
Scotland on Sunday - along with other newspapers - reports today on the links between the Labour party and Murdoch press.
Here's an extract of an article by Eddie Barnes - SoS political editor - confirming that the new Labour leader - Ed Miliband followed the very same path as his predecessors in courting News International and other media executives.
Iain Gray - the Scottish Labour leader - is reported to have had only 4 meetings with people from the Murdoch stable.
But maybe that's because he was too busy trying to curry favour with other titles - such as the Labour supporting Daily Record.
Pot and kettle - seems an apt description.
"Labour reveals Murdoch and News International links"
"Labour leader Ed Miliband and his senior team have regularly attended meetings and parties with top News International executives over the past year, the party declared yesterday, as it called on First Minister Alex Salmond to publish his own dealings with the scandal-hit news group.
New records published yesterday for the shadow cabinet show that company chiefs and Labour figures met at party conference, at London meetings and at parties in the Home Counties this summer.
Scottish leader Iain Gray also revealed he had held 42 meetings with media executives since taking over in 2008, four of which involved people from News International titles."
