RUPERT and James Murdoch were due to be grilled by MPs today as the phone hacking scandal deepened, with Britain's top policeman resigning and hurling parting shots at Prime Minister David Cameron.
Sir Paul Stephenson, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, turned on the British leader in his resignation speech, saying Mr Cameron was at risk of being compromised by his closeness to former News of the World editor Andy Coulson.
The bombshell came hours after former Murdoch favourite and News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks was arrested over allegations of hacking and bribery. She was questioned for 12 hours before being released at midnight. No charges have yet been laid, the normal process immediately following arrest in Britain.
