Murdoch's revenge? Apr 21st 2012, 00:02 Will Murdoch spill the beans on all the politicians who cosied up to him? http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012...sm-politicians Quote: MPs are preparing for an event that could shake the foundations of Westminster and Whitehall more deeply than the post-budget rows. All the main parties are assuming that Rupert Murdoch, who is now publicly committed to the breakup of the UK, is planning to exact his revenge on Britain's political class for the crisis at News International when he appears before the Leveson enquiry next week. As they assessed Murdoch's strategy in recent weeks, none of Britain's senior political figures have known exactly what he is planning to say because contacts have been burned in the wake of the hacking crisis. But it is widely assumed that he will adopt a "plague on all your houses" approach by saying he was no manipulator of politicians. They are expecting Murdoch to say that politicians of all hues beat a path to his door – or summoned him to their (back) doors when they reached power, as David Cameron did after the 2010 election. The parlour game at Westminster now is which recent and current prime minister will suffer the most damage from Murdoch's appearance.
