Andrew Grice: Why Tories don't want the hacking inquiry to drag on
Thursday, 21 July 2011
"It's time to move on from phone hacking to the real issues that concern the public." That was the line Conservative whips gave the party's MPs yesterday. Privately, some Tory MPs fear it will be hard to "move on". The hacking scandal is so big that it has the capacity to fill the summer vacuum. "We need a game-changer – I just hope Gaddafi goes soon," one Tory minister quipped. The parliamentary recess, which starts today, may deprive Ed Miliband of some of the opportunities he has exploited well recently. But speeches can be made and press conferences held outside the Commons.
