I Was 'Hacked Off', Met Chief Had to Go - 'Angry' London Mayor now gunning for Assistant Commissioner John Yates as phone scandal rumbles on

Tuesday 19 July 2011

BORIS JOHNSON helped push through the resignation of Met Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson over the phone-hacking scandal and is now gunning for Assistant Commissioner John Yates.

Stephenson handed in his cards last night in the wake of news that the Met had employed former News of the World deputy editor Neil Wallace as a PR man.

"I was very angry that I hadn't been told about the financial relationship between the Met and Neil Wallis," said Johnson.

"I was very hacked off."

London's Mayor said the the decision to jump was ultimately Stephenson's, but there seems little doubt Johnson gave him a hefty shove along the way.

"We looked at all the options and where the thing was going," Johnson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning.
