More than 20 MPs have signed a motion condemning football clubs for banning journalists from their grounds.
The early day motion names five clubs - Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Crawley Town, Port Vale and Rotherham - as culprits.
It calls on the Premier League and the Football Association to introduce a code of conduct about the treatment of journalists.
Thus far, 23 MPs have signed up, of whom 20 are Labour members. Perhaps Tories were unimpressed with the motion's supportive reference to the National Union of Journalists, which wrote to Newcastle's owner, Mike Ashley, in October to complain about the ban on journalists.
So well done to Peter Bottomley for being the lone Conservative signatory… for the moment anyway.
