Oh Tony...

And so the phone hacking plot thickens. Today, it transpired that the defendants had received an email from Teflon Tony, one time Labour Prime Minister and now jet-setting millionaire, offering his advice on how to get them through the chaos of the collapse of the News of the World. One line really grabbed my attention:

Get them to investigate me and others and publish a Hutton style report

As in, get an inquiry to completely exonerate you of lying to invade a Middle Eastern country and fit the BBC up with the blame? Might've been hard to blame phone hacking on them...

(I should emphasise, the defendants in the phone hacking trial deny all the charges levied against them, are innocent until proven otherwise by the judgement of a jury of their peers, and the trial is still in progress. As for Mr Blair...)
