Whatever took them so long? Plod has finally pounced on four miscreant Mirror Group journalists in a dawn raid conducted by the Weeting (phone hacking) team. And what a haul it has proved to be.

Sacked Mirror editors Richard Wallace (Daily) and Tina Weaver (Sunday) were plotting a buyout of their employer Trinity Mirror’s national titles before they were unceremoniously given the boot on Wednesday, according to the Telegraph’s media editor Katherine Rushton. It’s not clear from Rushton’s story, which was rubbished this morning by former Mirror editor Roy Greenslade [...]

The Rabelaisian guffawing in The Mirror’s newsroom when Trinity Mirror’s chief executive announced her unlamented departure is now reduced to a sullen whisper. Who will be next, the hacks timorously wonder as they survey the seismic damage caused by this morning’s fresh round of top level sackings? Out, in short order, have gone Richard Wallace, [...]

A month ago we asked if anyone still needed Trinity Mirror, publisher of the Daily and Sunday Mirror, the (Sunday) People and a gaggle of regional titles. This was in the wake of Sly Bailey’s removal as CEO when shareholders jibbed at paying her £1.7m a year to run a company whose value had declined [...]

Usually voluble and gossipy former tabloid editor (and cricket fan) Piers Morgan was patting back questions from the Leveson inquiry into UK media ethics with the straightest of straight bats today.
