BBC News - Jeremy Hunt criticised for Rupert Murdoch Olympic 'meeting'

Video footage of Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt smiling and shaking hands with Rupert Murdoch at the Olympics on Friday suggests the pair are "as close as ever," a Labour MP has said.

ITN filmed Mr Hunt talking to the News Corp boss near the Aquatics Centre.

Labour's Jim Sheridan said the film suggested "no contrition" for mistakes since Mr Hunt faced questions over his handling of News Corp's BSkyB bid.

But Mr Hunt's office said the meeting was an "exchange in passing".



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

It's true. He just missed two words: "Of envelopes."
