Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

[Brixton Hatter]

BBC Newsflash that Adam Smith, Jeremy Hunt MP's 'Special Adviser' is stepping down, ie jumping before pushed.

a desperate move in an attempt to save Hunt's job......I think Hunt is fucked already though.

A little unfortunate Rupes couldn't remember the dinner (at all) at Chequers with (only) Madge, Dennis and Ingham, esp. as it was here he made his big pitch for what was by any reckoning the most important deal of his entire career.

Still, he's just an elderly Gentleman now; memory can fade. Best go easy on him...

SABOTAGE FUCKS HUNT
MINISTER UP SHIT CREEK WITHOUT SPADDLE
Adam doesn't believe it

Adam Smith is taking the bullet for Hunt.

While it was part of my role to keep News Corporation informed throughout the BskyB bid process, the content and extent of my contact was done without authorisation from the Secretary of State. I do not recognise all of what Fred Michel said, but nonetheless I appreciate that my activities at times went too far and have, taken together, created the perception that News Corporation had too close a relationship with the department, contrary to the clear requirements set out by Jeremy Hunt and the permanent secretary that this needed to be a fair and scrupulous process.

The name of an adviser who's actually called "Adam Smith" has come up. Sources close to laptop were "not surprised"

And he's gone.

"IT'S A BALLET NIGHTMARE"
SPAD KEEPS DIGGING

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is not the explosive courtroom action Hollywood had led me to expect

 

[London_Calling]

The last two hours of evidence on anything other than broad generalisations and the depiction of a wider context can be summerised thus: "I can't remember, just dunno".

It is interesting how, whenever talking about the UK, he still always says "we"; 'we'd had many years of x, y, etc'.

It is interesting how, whenever talking about the UK, he still always says "we"; 'we'd had many years of x, y, etc'.

There's a small switch behind his left ear that he turns as the plane comes in to land.

So he's "we" in Australia and the US too... so long as he remembers the right setting.

Osborne not sitting next to Dave at PMQs...

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Oh, 'GB' is Gordon Brown is it?"

 

[London_Calling]

Jesus, that's a sight - sitting in a row; three utter wrong un's Michael Fabricant, Hunt and Oliver Letwin.

 

[agricola]

I dont think I have ever seen Cameron so angry at PMQs.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bollocks, doesn't PMQs start at 12.30pm?

 

[agricola]

Bollocks, doesn't PMQs start at 12.30pm?

No, it finishes then. 1230 is when the Hunt Show starts, though.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Shows how long it's been since uni and I could watch it every week

 

[Balbi]

I dont think I have ever seen Cameron so angry at PMQs.

He's got to do righteous anger, while hiding behind Leveson.

A summary of Jeremy Cunt's statement to the House today: "Not me guv".

 

[Orang Utan]

i wish they would stop saying kwarzy-judicial. it sounds totally wrong.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I bloody missed it because the BBC's live iPlayer went down

Watching it on the News Pages now, seems to be more stable

 

[Lord Camomile]

i wish they would stop saying kwarzy-judicial. it sounds totally wrong.

I thought I was the only one who that would annoy

 

[Balbi]

Harman's on form, which isn't great but still good.

 

[agricola]

Hunt now falling back on the "You lot were as bad" tactic, which is probably better than what he was doing.

 

[Balbi]

Hahaha, Bercow just tl:dr'd Hunt's Labour based rant.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hunt now falling back on the "You lot were as bad" tactic, which is probably better than what he was doing.

Can't help thinking it's a bit of a fair point - I'd be a bit fucked off about them taking the moral high ground over this too.

Of course, I'd never find myself in such a position in the first place...

 

[Orang Utan]

Hunt just said quasi correctly. All is forgiven.

 

[agricola]

Hahaha, Bercow just tl:dr'd Hunt's Labour based rant.

Another reason to dislike Bercow then, Hunt has a point.

 

[Ted Striker]

Bercow's doing a shit job tbf on this one

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Hunt now falling back on the "You lot were as bad" tactic, which is probably better than what he was doing.

When I write to my MP about shit things he is doing that is his go to response. "Well labour sort of did a bit of that sort of thing too you know."
Oh right, well if everyone is being naughty then I guess it's alright then. If Labour jumped off a cliff would you follow them?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Hunt looks really under pressure...he's only just holding it together.
