Not a single one of the many cases brought against The Sun for illegal activity (unlike the defunct News of the World) has come to court, where the full evidence would have been made public. The cost to Rupert Murdoch of keeping the full, sordid details secret is staggering.

Universities and student unions warn that hundreds of thousands of students could be left unable to vote if there’s an October Election, as there may not be enough time to register them.

There was a section in the JL vs Sewage doc we didn't manage to fit in about the effect of all this on the coastal economy.
