In the lead-up to the News UK trial, we’re revisiting former News of the World deputy features editor Paul McMullan’s explosive testimony at the Leveson Inquiry. In this clip, McMullan claims that former editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson were fully aware of phone hacking at

Paying £10m+, plus costs, to avoid a public trial. In return Murdoch accepts "illegal behaviour" was commissioned by the Sun but can blame arms-length investigators. Crucially no judge ruling on phone hacking at the Sun, email deletion, or if Rebekah Brooks knew of illegality.

The editors of the Sun between 1996 and 2011, when "unlawful activities" happened, included Rebekah Brooks (2003-09) and Dominic Mohan (2009-2013). Brooks is still CEO of News UK. Will @ipso@IpsoNews look into this? Inadvisable to hold your breath.

Like every other person persecuted by News Group Newspapers, I wish they had left my family alone. But what happened, happened.

It should be noted that Keir Starmer writes regular columns for The Sun with no doubt the full knowledge given his positions over the years that this industrial scale criminality has been ongoing for years.

WATCH: Lawyer for Prince Harry and Tom Watson says outside court that current CEO Rebekah Brooks, ran a “criminal enterprise” when she was the Editor of The Sun. David Sherborne said none of the senior managers were prepared to come and answer questions under oath.

Bye. See you on @stuartmaconie.bsky.social

Rupert Murdoch has now spent around £2bn in keeping the truth about the way his news organisations operate out of the courts in the UK and US. Please don’t shrug and say it’s normal. It’s not. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/69…

Exactly so, and it’s worth thinking back to reactions when it dawned on our political/media class that they had deliberately shitehoused Boris Johnson to power in their own interest, just in time for him to deal with a deadly and disastrous global emergency.

Hugo, who is presumably well paid to follow and understand British politics, is shocked to discover that Sir Keir might be a bonnet ornament on a car driven by the Party’s former Bribes Acquisition officer. Lara, who was at university in 2020, explains that sadly he is just that.

I watched this and once again I'm shocked that LauraK feeds him the line. She's effectively giving the impression that this is the truth and asking him if he agrees. Where is the alternative point of view from, oh...I dunno...A DOCTOR specialising in mental health? Or a GP?

Quiet everyone, my show is on 🍿

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

So you're saying if we'd sprayed stuff white and then put a red cross on it the media would have supported us? You live and learn I guess.

Having said for a decade that something much like this was coming, if we didn’t move decisively to avoid it: I cannot tell you how *incredibly* hostile more or less everyone who considers themselves Sensible and Moderate was, to being told this. And yet, here we now are.
