Just off the 'phone to Tommy. He said "It's hell. Heroin, get me heroin." Poor guy.

Prime Minister David Cameron's former director of communications Andy Coulson has been detained by police investigating allegations of perjury.

 

Mr Coulson, 44, was detained at his home in the Dulwich area of London at 06:30 by seven officers from Strathclyde Police.

 

He has been held on suspicion of committing perjury at the trial of former MSP Tommy Sheridan in 2010.

 

Mr Coulson is being taken to Glasgow, where he will be questioned.

 

A police spokeswoman said: "Officers from Strathclyde Police's Operation Rubicon team detained a 44-year-old man in London this morning under section 14 of the Criminal Procedure Scotland Act 1995 on suspicion of committing perjury before the High Court in Glasgow."

 

Mr Coulson gave evidence at the perjury trial of former Scottish Socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan in 2010.

 

Sheridan was awarded £200,000 in damages from the News of the World in 2006 after it printed allegations that he had committed adultery and visited a swingers' club.
