Gordon Brown: ‘no hiding place’ for News Group chiefs over email deletions

Met continues to investigate Brown’s claims of misbehaviour within Murdoch group where ‘fake security threat’ was used to ‘justify’ deletion of emails

Gordon Brown has said there is “no hiding place” for senior executives at News Group Newspapers, as Scotland Yard continues to investigate claims the former prime minister was “falsely” implicated along with the Labour peer Tom Watson in a “fake security threat” to “justify” the deletion of millions of emails.

Brown said on Wednesday: “The Metropolitan police have confirmed their investigations into my allegations of misbehaviour within the Murdoch group are ongoing and will run into 2025.”
