Osborne feels the pain of dominatrix's claims

"George Osborne faced more questions yesterday about his role in the decision to bring the former News of the World editor Andy Coulson into the heart of the Conservative Party. It followed new claims about the newspaper's treatment of a story linking the Chancellor to a former dominatrix and allegations of drug-taking.
"The Independent revealed last month that Natalie Rowe, who once ran the Black Beauties escort agency offering prostitutes for £350 per hour, had been targeted by the NOTW's private detective Glenn Mulcaire before the publication of a story in the middle of the last Tory leadership contest about Mr Osborne's friendship with the former vice madam.
"A lawyer for Ms Rowe, who is suing Rupert Murdoch's News International for damages over Mr Mulcaire's activities, said the treatment of her story by Mr Coulson, the then editor of the NOTW, may have had an effect on his subsequent recruitment to Conservative Central Office in 2007, with Mr Osborne's active encouragement."
