On the news page about the cariier bags story there are links to IKEA,
M&S, Number ten and the Conservative party. Why does the tory site get
a link but labout doesnt? Number ten isn't really a labour site,
despite the incumbent, so why link to the tory site?

Because the article refers to figures released by the Tories about the
number of branded plastic bags Labour have bought over the past 2
years. And the No. 10 site was linked to because its current incumbent
is pretty heavily mentioned as well. The links for IKEA and M & S are
used because they are also mentioned in the article
Did you read the whole article? The choice of links seem pretty
acceptable to me.

It was a cheap shot, for which I apologise

It's okay. It makes a change from the endless cheap shots here that
the BBC is leftwing biased.

I think that WAS his cheap shot...
