ALL WEEK I HAVE BEEN CALLING PEOPLE JEREMY HUNTS, HAS THIS DISGUSTING CORRUPT SCUM INADVERTENTLY CREATED A GREAT NEW PIECE OF RHYMING SLANG??
” SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU JEREMY HUNT”!!!!!!!!
Pressure piled on the government on Thursday for an inquiry into claims that Jeremy Hunt broke ministerial rules in dealing with News Corporation’s BSkyB bid.
Labour accused the Culture Secretary of breaching the ministerial code of conduct three times in his handling of News Corp’s £8 billion takeover bid for the broadcaster.
Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman has written to David Cameron urging him to refer the case to his independent adviser on ministers’ interests Sir Alex Allan.
She said that Mr Hunt breached the code by failing to take responsibility for the actions of his special adviser, failing to give “accurate and truthful information” to Parliament and passing a parliamentary statement to News Corp before the Commons had been informed.
It comes following the release of a 163-page dossier by the Leveson Inquiry detailing correspondence between News Corp executive Frederic Michel and Mr Hunt’s office.
Mr Hunt has denied that the stream of emails and texts represented a secret “back channel” giving News Corp an advantage over its rivals in the BSkyB bid.
However the Financial Services Authority is considering an investigation into whether Mr Hunt’s office released market-sensitive information to News Corp in breach of City rules.
Mr Hunt admitted that his special advisor Adam Smith, who resigned over the issue, “overstepped the mark” in his correspondence with Mr Michel.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said it was “incredible” that Mr Hunt was still Culture Secretary.
He commented: “It beggars belief that he’s still in his job because to believe that he should stay, you have to believe that his special adviser was, if you like, a lone wolf who spent six months in collusion with News Corporation.”
Mr Miliband acknowledged that Labour too had “got too close to the Murdochs” but went on: “There is a world of difference between being too close to the Murdochs and the pattern of behaviour we’ve seen revealed in the past few days.”
Former director general of the Office of Fair Trading John Bridgeman added: “If you look at the criminal justice system, if these things happened with judges or a jury, it would be seen as contempt.”
