Jeremy Hunt: This Is Not The Time To Jump On The Political Bandwagon

The Culture Secretary faced the House of Commons on Wednesday to defend his conduct during News Corporation's takeover bid for BSkyB, rejecting calls for his resignation over claims that he was a "cheerleader" for Rupert Murdoch's company.

Hunt accused Labour of "rank opportunism" in their calls for him to resign, after a wave of revelations suggesting News Corporation was given a steer by a government special adviser in its bid to fully take-over BSkyB.
