The BBC finally report the Baroness Uddin expenses story

Just a little behind the rest of the Main Stream Media, the BBC finally get around to reporting that:

"Labour peer Baroness Uddin is to be investigated over allegations that she used a reportedly empty flat to claim £100,000 in public allowances.

The House of Lords authorities are to look into the allegations, relating to a Kent property owned by the peer.

The Sunday Times said the peer stated this was her main residence and claimed a second home fee for a London flat.

Baroness Uddin said she "welcomed" the investigation, insisting that she had not broken the parliamentary rules. "

The BBC report Baroness Uddin's claim that:

"She said she had "regularly" stayed in the two-bedroom Kent "

Of course "regularly" could be a word chosen very deliberately as it makes the leads the reader to think it means often whereas it could just as easily mean once a month every month.

Will Newsnight now give Michael Crick a whole segment on this story as they did over the Caroline Spelman affair, or does the BBC only "investigate" "Tory sleaze" whilst helping to cover up for the Labour government?
