Rebekah Brooks (pictured) and her former racehorse trainer husband Charlie have been arrested as part of Scotland Yard’s Operation Weeting probe into phone hacking – the second time for Rebekah, this time on suspicion of ‘perverting the course of justice.’ Today is the first day of National Hunt racing’s Cheltenham Festival, which the horsey couple [...]

The scene was Brighton, England and embattled UK prime minister Gordon Brown had just tried (and mostly failed) to rally his battered troops. Leading Labour politicos at the party conference were no doubt looking forward to a few sustaining snifters at the News International party, News International being the News Corporation-owned company that published the [...]

There aren’t too many women at or near the top of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation (apart from daughter Elizabeth and wife Wendi of course) but the old boy is very loyal to those who do rise up the ranks. Long-serving Times city editor Patience Wheatcroft was one, being brought back (briefly) to edit the Wall [...]

Well sort of, apparently Rebekah Brooks (Rebekah Wade as she then was) had her phone hacked by News of the World private investigator Glenn Mulcaire when she was editor of the Sunday paper’s daily stablemate the Sun. Or so the police think anyway. Which makes you think and what it makes you think particularly is [...]

The News of the World and its ultimate owner Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation have finally admitted that phone hacking at the paper went much further than the activities of royal correspondent Clive Goodman and his private eye sidekick Glenn Mulcaire who were both jailed for the offence in 2007.

We already know that News of the World royal correspondent Clive Goodman was jailed in 2007 for phone hacking, as was his sidekick freelance private investigator Glenn Mulcaire. Coalition government director of communications Andy Coulson [...]

And the cover-up embraces News International journalists, its managers (many of whom are former hacks) and the very highest levels of ultimate owner News Corporation whose senior executives, including one R. Murdoch, were hardly unaware of the prevailing culture at the company’s tabloid newspapers. It also involves the coalition government including prime minister David Cameron [...]

It’s been obvious for months that Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor mired in that paper’s phone hacking scandal, would have to resign. He’s clung on to the job for months, London SW1′s version of The Alamo or Custer’s Last Stand, but the writing was well and truly on the wall when [...]

The 29-year old British actress, probably best known for her on-off relationship with fellow actor Jude Law, is an unlikely nemesis for the News of the World but her plucky decision to sue the tabloid newspaper for allegedly hacking into her phone in 2005 has put it, owner News Corporation and current and former executives [...]
