| Editor's Choice IN THIS WEEK'S NEW STATESMAN... Our cover story this week focuses on France’s lurch to the right. In a piece titled “France’s feeble Napoleon” Jonathan Derbyshire laments President Sarkozy’s lust for power which is seeing him fall back on an old, if divisive vote-winner.
Elsewhere, Mehdi Hasan investigates the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, and the allegations against Andy Coulson, and speaks to former NotW staff and senior Met police officials. And don’t miss Peter Wilby’s verdict on Rupert Murdoch, Coulson and Wayne Rooney.
By the way, if you missed last week’s cover story by Geoffrey Robertson – The case against Vatican power – you can catch it online now.
