Cameron admits he rode Brooks’ police horse
After his aides had spent days dodging questions on the horse, which has become an unlikely symbol of the phone-hacking scandal, Cameron apologised for the lack of clarity and confirmed he had ridden the horse with the husband of Rebekah Brooks, who used to run Murdoch’s British news-paper business.
The questions have been awkward for Cameron, accused of being too close to Murdoch’s News Corp, the company at the centre of a public outcry over illegal phone hacking and payments to police.
