Target: Labour frontbencher Tessa Jowell
Labour frontbencher Tessa Jowell has alerted police after an attempt to hack into her mobile phone voicemail as recently as last week, it emerged today. The shadow Cabinet Office minister said she was contacted last week by her phone provider, to warn her that someone had tried and failed to access her voicemail. It is not known whether the attempted hacking has any connection with the wider investigation into allegations of media eavesdropping on phone messages.
Miss Jowell was told by police in 2006 that her phone had been hacked into on 28 occasions, but no one was ever prosecuted. She said today: 'This kind of behaviour is absolutely outrageous.' The latest twist came after it was revealed alleged phone hacking at the News of the World may have been taking place as late as last year. Kelly Hoppen was granted a court order forcing a phone company to release the identity of anyone allegedly hacking her voicemails between June 2009 and March 2010, according to the BBC.
Hoppen and her stepdaughter Sienna Miller are taking action against the newspaper. Previously it had been thought the allegations related to activities in 2005 and 2006. Scotland Yard launched a new investigation into the scandal last night after the NoW sacked top executive Ian Edmondson. The Met said it had received 'significant new information'. Mr Edmondson was suspended last month after suggestions he was linked to the hacking of Miss Miller's voicemails.
Now what does make me laugh about this, is that the likes of Tessa Jowell, Gordon Brown and John Prescott (now Lord Prescott) who took full part in the last government are now the ones complaining about privacy and civil liberties - coming from the government which greatly expanded the Big Brother state under the guise that they were somehow (by recording our phone calls, emails and internet activity) preventing terrorism; see here (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1077788/Government-unveils-Big-Brother-plan-Now-want-snoop-phone-email-text-message.html).
What goes around comes around Tessa!
Thoughts?
