Jeremy Hunt faces Leveson inquiry

Thursday, May 31, 2012
Jeremy Hunt is set for a tough time at the Leveson inquiry on Thursday where he will be grilled over his relationship with News Corporation.

The culture secretary is under intense pressure from Labour to quit amid accusations that he acted as Rupert Murdoch's "cheerleader" within government while he was supposed to be an impartial adjudicator of News Corp's bid to take control of BSkyB.

Hunt is currently on his way to the inquiry pursued by the SkyCopter. From what we can tell so far It looks like he has had a hair cut. What does this tell us? Nothing.

While Hunt is in the dock, Andy Coulson is currently hanging out with the Scottish police having been arrested on suspicion of perjury.
