The letter says:"““The reason that a new investigation has been commenced and the situation has subsequently changed so markedly””—"
that is, since the advice given to me as Home Secretary—"““is that in January 2011 News International began to co-operate properly with the police. It is now evident that this was not the case beforehand.””"
January 2011 was when Andy Coulson resigned. Does the Prime Minister think that that is just a coincidence?
