Leveson inquiry ‘set up to divert Coulson gaze’
DAVID CAMERON set up the Leveson inquiry to divert attention from his hiring of Andy Coulson as his spin doctor, a former Met chief was reported to have said yesterday.
Sir Paul Stephenson, who resigned from the Metropolitan Police over his links with former News Of The World executive Neil Wallis, claimed the Prime Minister had an agenda to “spread the heat around.”
Disgraced former News of the World editor Mr Coulson was forced to resign as No 10’s director of communications and later jailed for conspiring to hack phones.
