The Telegraph's coverage would suggest that but not sure it stands up. He's quite within his rights, when a decision is made not to prosecute, to ask the Police to look again. The trenchant view of DCI Settle is not of itself conclusive.
Settle's evidence to the Home Affairs Committee sounded like the talk of an embittered soon to be ex-Copper.
Watson should have avoided some of the words he used and apologised more quickly to Lady Brittan. But it's a long leap from there to blown credibility.
There are plenty of press knives still out for him following his role in the hacking affair.
