I watched earlier - it's an excellent piece. Way more incisive and considered than anything I've seen on the BBC so far.
I'll be keeping an eye out for his coverage now.

All I did was disagree with Brown as part of some 'elite'.

All I did it's a matter of regret etc. you're beend picking and losing personal fights all day
Don't be silly. Brown's been out of office less than 18 months. This stuff surrounded his tenia as both chancellor and PM. If he's not part of the political elite at the pertinent times, who the fuck is.

OK so Mulcaire probably used unregistered mobiles to hack the voicemails of his targets. I hadn't thought of that.
Nevertheless it may be possible for the mobile phone companies to track or identify a voicemail that was accessed from a different number when the mobile phone that it applied to was on and registered to the home network. That would not happen in normal service so it could be a way to identify a hacking event.
I am just thinking that it might take less time to approach this via the mobile phone networks than to wait for the police to leaf through all the notebooks.

Of course getting mobile companies to identify hacking events would identify ALL events, not just those that the NotW had done.
He was done for hacking. He's admitted hacking. He's got people's mobile phone numbers. There's no need to go with warrent, RIPA or whatever to the phone companies. Not unless they're planning to build another case against him.

basically the sun are calling brown a liar and that they published the story about his child with his cooperation, if not blessing.

What really happened between the Sun and PM
then big banner headline saying Brown Wrong
followed by a refutation of the claims made today, along the lines of mr broon was a party to all of this and/or cozied up to murdoch et al post shedding a mournful tear and/or it was their (police/politicians) fault not ours.

Sun headlines tomorrow apparently:
“WHAT REALLY AHPPENED BETWEEN THE SUN AND EX-PM
BROWN WRONG
• We didn’t probe son’s medical records
• Browns gave us consent to run story
• Source was dad of cystic fibrosis child
Unless you mean the Campbell Bannerman bit.

I am very grateful for that link ,a very good piece and it pointed out how this may progress

I assume they cannot actually prove that Brown gave them consent, so they're banking on it being their word against his. Sounds like a desperate ploy to me.

Doesn't matter anyway, all those thick Sun-readers won't keep up with what's going oh look there's Madonna.

Not totally sure but as i remember he pre-empted them by announcing it himself but only because Sun said they were going to run it anyway.
Oooooh i just hope they're found out for something similar so their high moral ground swallows them up.
We discussed with his colleagues (not him personlly) Got his apparent permission by something he'd not said himself. What colleagues? One's leaking how his mental state might be effecting him? Loyal Brownites?
"On receipt of the information, The Sun approached Mr Brown and discussed with his colleagues how best to present it.
Those colleagues provided quotes which were used in the published piece which indicated his consent to it."

So I ran into John Whittingdale (chair of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport) and asked him why he thought Rusbridger had warned Cameron.
He rolled his eyes. He has a trademark roll of the eyes. TBF, as a senior backbench Tory he couldn't really answer.
A bystander, who turned out to be a Labour member of the Select Committee, leapt in to say that he reckoned Rusbridger had done it, certain that Cameron would reject advice from the Guardian, in order to nail him down now.
FWIW.
