Last year it emerged that Brooks was unofficially lent a police horse by Scotland Yard, and that her friend the Prime Minister had ridden the horse.</p> <p>Now it has emerged that Mrs Brooks, keen to hide the evidence of alleged impropriety, may have had the horse secretly minced and sold to Tesco – thereby simultaneously destroying the evidence and making a profit. Brooks denies the story and says she is not suffering from Mad Cow disease, a condition which plagued previous Conservative governments and led to Edwina Curries’ famous egg scandal involving breakfast with the then John Major. </p>
