BBC LatestLabour MP Tom Watson says Rebekah Brooks, Rupert Murdoch and his son James have been asked to appear before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee next Tuesday.
How the hell did Andy Hayman make Asst Commissioner?!
They most certainly can compel them to attend.
oh, didn't know that.
re: Peston
iirc Private Eye have had a few bits and pieces about his friendship with Will 'Thirsty' Lewis.
I've just chucked a load out for recylcling so can't check sadly.
cameron lying low again today - refusing to speak to the press at the welsh assembly.
what's he up to?
We can be sure of one thing - there will be nothing to directly connect Old man Murdoch with this little escapade, whatever he actually knew over the years
Haymen being made to look dodgy in the select commitee. He was informed that. His phone was hacked, he wasn't bothered.
He admits he always wanted to be a journalist, he admits he accepted hospitality from people he was investigating for criminal offences. Then he retired and got a highly paid job working with them 2 months later, it stinks but he can't see it.
HAC stuff is live here for those at work
They most certainly can compel them to attend.
You know that Will Lewis is Rebekah Brooks's right-hand man, appointed for his loyalty to her when the NotW newsroom started to mutiny under her 'leadership', as well as being a close pal of Peston's, right?I think this is more on the mark than the allegations here that the source is Rebekah Brooks.
what like the head of Kraft, who parliament wanted to chat to over the Cadbury take over.
Lorraine Fullbrook says the public will see Hayman as a "dodgy geezer". The inquiry was a "disaster", she says.
the internet seems to suggest that with the appearance of hayman, mcmullan finally has a rival...
Mark Lewis, a lawyer for the policeman, Dave Cook, and for his wife Jacqui Hames, told Reuters he believed the planned suit against News Group Newspapers would be the first action against the now-defunct weekly for the physical trailing and electronic surveillance of a police officer by journalists working for it.
The case is particularly sensitive for the paper, since the man accused of the axe murder, in 1987, later worked for the News of the World as an investigator.
Judging from the Guardian blog, Hayman really isn't making himself look good, is he?
