Time is Money
Here's a list of meetings that Ed Miliband has held with media bosses since May 2010 - which has been helpfully published on the BBC's web site.
The same information is available for the Prime Minister - David Cameron - and the Deputy PM - Nick Clegg - though the list doesn't say whether these were normal day-time meetings - or hospitality chats over a nice lunch or dinner.
I haven't yet checked what's been posted on the BBC Scotland site - but it just goes to show how much time politicians spend - working on their relations with the press.
