It had to happen. The phone-hacking saga finally hit the credibility buffers tonight with the Guardian quoting claims by “Lib Dem insiders” who say News International officials threatened to persecute the party if Vince Cable, the business secretary, did not advance its case. As if.
Nameless sources profess that “accounts are only now coming to light” but the evidence is that Murdoch had the tory vote sewn up and that gutless Lib Dems really weren’t worth the effort. The same goes of the Miliband camp whose influence in the matter proved minimal until the Dowler factor took effect.
But surely the kicker is that it was the Daily Telegraph who did the sting on Vince Cable by using undercover reporters to tape his comments attacking Murdoch and News International.
