Coulson-gate: your LDV reader, day 2

Yesterday on LDV we rounded-up for you the Lib Dem blog-posts covering the scandal engulfing Rupert Murdoch’s News Media Group following the Guardian’s expose of their illegal activities. Day 2 of ‘Coulson-gate’ has seen more desptaches from Lib Dem blogs:

Cameron, Coulson and a lot of writs… (James Oates)

Coulson is horribly exposed and Cameron would be making a grave error of judgement if he decides to keep him and then finds that he is submerged in a blizzard of litigation- even without criminal prosecution. As with the tangled affair of George Osborne last summer, Mr. Cameron may find that loyalty has a price for his own credibility. The Tories can not yet be so confident that they can dismiss this – and to try to do so looks like complacent arrogance.

Plenty of coverage across the broadcast media and blogs today about the scandal engulfing Rupert Murdoch’s News Media Group following today’s Guardian expose of their illegal activities. Plenty of coverage, too, of David Cameron’s top aide Andy Coulson, who edited the News of the World at the time it was hacking into phone lines. Here’s a handful of the posts I’ve spotted today on Lib Dem blogs:
