He was just on the news refusing to answer their questions but said this "may change" and the situation is changing hour by hour.

This is significant, given that News Int today announced they would stop paying him.

Mulcare holds the fate of a lot of people in his hands. If he announces that he told the likes of Andy Coulson or Rebekah Brooks, or some other hitherto unnamed person, about the phone hacking then the media hurricane will ratch back up to level 5 again.

    Name them all for doing what? Brooks and the Murdochs did not hack peoples 'phones.

    Name all of those from every newspaper group who commissioned him to obtain information and paid for it, without checking how he obtained the info or worse those who knew he was hacking phones and re-commissioned him.

    Work with the Met to detail which names on his list had their phones hacked and which he just noted down the necessary info for.

    But if I were a betting man I'd bet my last £ they knew about it and, as long it got stories and was kept hush-hush, condoned it.

    Unlike you I like hard facts and evidence not tittle tattle before I decide.

    But if he says she knew about it and asked him to do it that makes her as guilty as him. She as all ways said she did not know it was happening,

    Here is his interview

    Mulcaire has already said, when he was being filmed without his knowledge that hacking was decided by a committee of journalists, no way Brooks & Coulson didn't know, McMullen has also said the same:

    all we can hope is Sean Hoare had evidence in his house that would implicate Andy Coulson

    So he might speak to media, he might not, he might name various people, he might not, he might be telling the truth, he might not.

    I'm glad we cleared that up it's political dynamite.

    I doubt if Coulsen would have told one of his journos to do anything illegal... if anything it would have gone something like...

    Coulsen - Hoare, get the story.

    Hoare - but that involv... '''Cut off'''

    Coulsen - Don't ever tell me how you do it, I don't want to know, I don't care, just get the story.....

    Hoare - OK, I need 5k for a pa.. -'''cut off again''''

    Coulsen - Shut up,. 5k for expenses you mean... Submit in the normal 'expenses' way.....
