What is editorial reasoning behind MP’s photo?
Wasn’t it just in the previous week’s edition the same photo from Downing Street was used showing Mr Stephenson standing to the right of Coun. Aziz?
And since our MP was reported as recommending Coun. Aziz for this event, it seems odd you did not ask him his opinion on the situation.

Was it some sort of quid pro quo for the front page story in the Nelson Leader about the bedroom tax?
Or was it simply that anything that could show our MP in a bad light gets downplayed?
Readers may wonder if a similar story concerning a Labour MP would be relegated to the inside pages and treated in such a gentle way.
