1-- A person who schedules, I would suppose, though here in Japan many people carry a small but very complexly organized notebook that could be called a 'scheduler', too. 2-- a skirt-chaser is a man who likes women very much and continually pursues them. 3-- I need context.

Hi Mister Micawber,

On top of that, Blair allies - former ministers in his government - are in disgrace after a press sting showed that they'd offered themselves as lobbyists in return for high fees.

Does it mean "a tabloid"?

Thanks you so much

No, I think the press ( =a newspaper,perhaps but not necessarily a tabloid) discovered the ministers' actions through some trickery.

A sting is a carefully planned operation, typically one involving deception. A press sting is such an operation carried out by investigative journalists.

Using hidden microphones or video cameras, the journalists most probably recorded the Government ministers requesting fees for favourable decisions by the Government.

There's also a meeting scheduler which is a software application that allows you to coordinate easily with

other people to setup meetings.
