About time. I think it is important given Osborne's past relationship with News International, not least his alleged advocating of Andy Coulson, but also given the nature of the relationship of the media with politicians in the past it is right for Gordon Brown to be called, and indeed the current Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg and the Labour leader, Ed Miliband. It's also good for Sir John Major to be called, no doubt to give an account of his relationship with the media in the 1990s.
Given the seriousness of the situation I think what we will eventually need to see is a wide scale reform of the media and I think the Leveson Inquiry needs to reflect that possibility
