WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
He forgot his inflatable cushion in the rush to get to the chamber in time for some full and frank answers.

Are there new allegations against Baldwin or are these just a rehashing of the old Ashcroft story?
Better burn the servers sharpish.

You're all on the ball as I'd expect wrt to this - the one thing I want to say is -0 I am so sick and tired of clever hedging when it comes to questions and answer!!!
You could SEE Murdoch asking himself 'Yes or no?? Yes or no? Could I get in trouble with yes or no??' before answering.
As for Brooks, she used well documented methods of making her actions look non-bad. (I thought she pulled out the worst items (Milly Dowler) and said 'Who would sanction that?' as defense against the whole of it, which I think is a ruse.)
And now Cameron, refusing to give straight answers.
Its been long overdue but I think honesty, accountability and a fair discussion on ethics needs to take place and whoevers heads roll in the process, well tough shit.

I wish they would say WHY they did it.
1) Profit. Leading to a discussion regarding whether profit is ethical in today's age when some people don't have water coming out of a tap.
2) Because they wanted to find out what people were hiding who were making out they were so perfect yet behind backs were shoddy.
3) Because they were used to low standards and anaesthetised to it.
(Imo)

Wow, seriously, why won't he name the company?

Possibly because he cant remember it, however given how farcical this whole crisis has been there is a good chance it was Chamy Media. Or News Corp.

Someone should put a tally together for how many times he's been directly asked the name of the company.
Someone that isn't me, obviously.

Oh yes. That's really likely.

Its possible - those companies are usually quite small, and thats if it was a genuine one. If it was a single-purpose shell company (as Chamy was) set up solely to approve Coulson then he might not remember the name. (edit) However as I said, there is a good chance it is one of the companies already mentioned, and the more I think about it the more likely it is that it was News Corp itself.

Going back to the enquiry and NI and Max Clifford. It seems he was paid between £500k and £1m which seems a lot, and was probably much more than anyone else. I know he is a PR person who could produce a lot of bad press for NI, but could there be any other reason why he was compensated so much?

if he'd forgotten it, he would have said what he did to some other questions, that he would have to give them a written answer because he couldn't recall it. and of course he would have been briefed about all of this just before going into the house.

Taylor got £700,000, and IIRC it was solely to hush everything up before it came out. Those who have had awards since then have got much less (Andy Gray got £20k).

He did say that he would reply in writing (albeit when asked whether the company was a Tory donor) in the end.

and now according to them, it definitely ISNT her:
At 12.37pm we suggested Jenny Watson, head of the Electoral Commission, might have been the official Nick Raynsford referred to earlier. We now understand it was not Watson.
