Max Mosley offered to give Labour close to £1m for campaign fund to attack David Cameron over Andy Coulson link Mr Mosley - who has reinvented himself as a privacy campaigner after winning damages from the News of the World for publishing a story wrongly alleging he had organised a Nazi-themed orgy - believed that reminding voters of Mr Cameron's decision to employ the ex-tabloid editor, who has just been released from prison, could swing key seats. The "substantial" offer, involving a six-figure sum, was made a year ago through formal Labour donation channels. Mr Mosley, 74, hoped the campaign would have questioned how much Mr Cameron knew of Coulson's criminal involvement in phone hacking inside the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid when he appointed him in 2007 to head the Conservative Party's communications operation, and then later in 2010 when he brought him into 10 Downing Street as director of communications. He said Labour had neither accepted nor rejected his offer. "I have not heard back from them," he told The Independent. Mr Mosley, who has campaigned to change European and UK privacy laws and privately underwrote some legal cases of victims of phone hacking, added: "I feel strongly that David Cameron should no longer remain in office as Prime Minister. He took a criminal into Downing Street. The former president of the FIA - the international governing body for Formula 1 and other motor sports - said he understood his offer might be viewed with some concern after the funding scandal of 2007 when a £1m donation to Labour by Bernie Ecclestone, F1"s boss, was later linked to the Blair government's announcement that Grand Prix races would be exempt from a tobacco advertising ban. The Labour Party is currently struggling to match Tory funding to fight the next general election, with insiders estimating it has currently raised less than half of what might be needed to fund a potent campaign. Mr Coulson was released from Suffolk's Hollesley Bay Prison last week after serving five months of the 18-month sentence he received in July at the Old Bailey for his role in a conspiracy to illegally access mobile phone messages during his time at the NOTW. He was one of four journalists from the paper sentenced at that time. He faces a further trial in Scotland next year on perjury charges related to his 2010 account of what he knew of phone hacking given during the trial of the former MSP Tommy Sheridan. Mr Mosley said when he made his offer, through a senior Labour figure, he specified he wanted his campaign not to attack the Conservatives directly, but to address the specific issue about what the PM knew about Coulson's illegal activities inside the NOTW.
