Morning Star editor Richard Bagley wrote to BBC director general Lord Hall yesterday urging him to follow up a promise in front of MPs to consider including the paper in TV newspaper reviews.

In response to an intervention by leading Labour backbencher Jim Sheridan, the BBC chief agreed to look into whether the Morning Star should be part of newspaper reviews.
