Now you can own a piece of phone-hacking history

Forget the hacks and starlets, the politicians and media moguls, the defining image of the Leveson Inquiry will always be phone-hacking lawyer Mark Lewis’ terrible orange overcoat.

The Zara number got inquiry wags and watchers talking and now I hear the coat is about to take a starring role of its very own.

Lewis, who suffers from MS, tells me that he will be auctioning the coat for a charity associated with the disease.

Form an orderly queue.
