We can agree with Tories on Leveson, says Harman

Harriet Harman has signalled Labour's willingness to reach an all-party agreement over Lord Justice Leveson's proposals on press regulation, but warned David Cameron "watered-down" plans would not be acceptable.

The Shadow Deputy Prime Minister and Shadow Culture Secretary said the Opposition would "definitely look at a Royal Charter" but stressed any arrangement could not be one that "drives a coach and horses through Leveson".
