Jon Trickett MP is entirely barking up the wrong tree over the cigarette packaging announcement.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/jul/14/lynton-crosby-tobacco-meeting-labour?CMP=twt_gu
No-one has yet established who in the "government" (which is, remember, elected ministers PLUS senior civil servants) took the decision over cigarette packaging.
It is presented as a collective Cabinet decision, but in reality many decisions are made by committees.
Journalists can use freedom of information to find out how this decision was made and who made it. Instead they prefer to see what they want to see, and play at party politics. Which indicates that the journalists (Andrew Sparrow in this case) are part of the problem, not the solution.
