Boy, is it moving fast now...
Robert Peston has just said that contacts in NI have informed him that NI have provided the police with e-mails which apparently show that Andy Coulson paid police officers for information.
Important fact to note: Robert Peston's reliance on contacts within NI has become so well-known it's starting to embarrass the BBC. Only today, Toby Young described Peston as "News International's press officer".
So... it's beginning to look as if NI are setting Coulson up as a sacrificial lamb, with the implied threat of further embarrassing the Prime Minister if he tries to intervene. It may all come down to the number of skeletons in cupboards that Coulson knows about .
I think we could be about to witness a corporate bloodbath...
