The Media Select Committee has just announced Andy Coulson will be questioned in a separate session on Tuesday, probably just after Rebekah Wade.

Mr Coulson’s friends say they are feeling pretty relaxed that the committee has no hard paper evidence to pin on him and won’t get far if he sticks to his line that he knew nothing about dodgy practices.

But a lot of eyes in Westminster will be on this and the whole prospect has cheered up some gloomy Labour MPs no end.

    As I said on my own blog last week, the problem for DC is that the News of the World has had some crazy front pages in the past. “Bus found on moon” was my favourite. The revelations that AC was former editor of the News of the World does nothing to improve the credibility of communications from Tory HQ in my eye’s.

    As for the Hacking…

    …. if people in high profile positions are stupid enough not to change the security codes on their voice mailboxes….

    From the above, Andy Coulson’s ‘friends’ seem pretty relaxed about being concerned more with process than substance. Do these people believe in the rule of law?
