The row over Ruth Kelly's son's education dominates several of Tuesday's papers.

The Daily Mirror, the first to name her as the cabinet minister sending one of her sons to a private school, says she snubbed six local state schools.

It notes Ms Kelly's local authority has an outstanding record of supporting youngsters with learning difficulties.

"Another abject lesson in Labour hypocrisy" is the way the Daily Express describes Ms Kelly's behaviour.

Resignation call

Daily Telegraph writer Andrew O'Hagan suggests that the shameful thing is not Ms Kelly's choice of school - but her choice of job, communities secretary.

The Guardian's Fiona Millar appears to agree, suggesting Ms Kelly should have resigned - which might have started a debate about special needs provision.

But the Independent's Dominic Lawson believes the welfare of a single child is more important than political ideas.

He argues Ms Kelly has not said anything to label her a hypocrite.

Long-haul questions

"Science will save the planet" is the way the Guardian describes Tony Blair's apparent attitude towards people continuing to take long-haul flights.

The Daily Express says Mr Blair does not want to put people off the green agenda by saying they cannot have a good time anymore.

The Sun says he is not giving up long-haul travel and neither should we.

The Guardian quotes Greenpeace as saying Mr Blair is hoping non-climate-changing planes will be invented.

£25,000 shot?

The Times says the Prince of Wales' lawyers are trying to protect Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton, from paparazzi attention.

Tabloid editors - it reports - estimate a photograph of Miss Middleton in a bikini would be worth up to £25,000.

A couple from North Wales have told the Sun they have been threatened with a council health investigation - for smoking in their own home.

Jeanette Gordon-Crawley and husband Gavin says neighbours have complained.
