That's partly why the media isn't paying it much attention either. It's more of a story when a party is infighting over something.

In other words, media (esp. BBC) coverage of the different controversies is driven less by their severity, and more by the reaction.
And because Tory reaction is muted, it ends up getting less coverage.
