Answer
Vince Cable, a prominent Liberal Democrat politician and former Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, joined Chris Huhne in filing a lawsuit against News Corporation, the media conglomerate owned by Rupert Murdoch. This legal action was taken in response to phone hacking allegations involving journalists from News Corporation's now-defunct tabloid, News of the World. Huhne and Cable sought compensation and an injunction to prevent further privacy violations.
