No surprise as Rebekah Brooks and her husband are charged over phone hacking

Rebekah Brooks and her husband, Charlie, are to becharged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice over the phone-hackinginquiry.

Three of Mrs Brooks's staff, and News International security head Mark Hanna, are also charged with the offence.
Mr and Mrs Brooks accused the CPS of "unprecedented posturing" and said they would provide a further response later "after our return from the police station".
The Crown Prosecution Service performed two tests before charging Rebekah Brooks and others: Was the evidence good enough to have a realistic chance of a conviction - and would a prosecution be in the public interest?
Conspiring to pervert the course of justice is a serious crime. It has to be tried in the Crown Court before a jury and can, in theory, lead to a life sentence.
But in practice the sentencing range is huge because it comes down to the severity of the offence and the nature of any cover-up.
In one recent case, a defendant was jailed for three years for concealing evidence in a fatal accident.

Has Louise Mensch been caught lying? Time for her to resign?

Speaking on BBC Newsnight on Tuesday, the Conservative MP Louise Mensch said the issue of whether Murdoch was a fit and proper person had not been discussed by the committee before an amendment was tabled on Monday. However it has now been revealed that she did not tellthe truth and in fact it was discussed six weeks ago. It seems Lousie is now up her neck in news corps mud and it does seem that she has lied to try and protect news corps, it is now time for her to resign or explain why she lied.

Are the conservatives now blatantly in the pockets of the Murdochs? Is Louise Mensch unfit to serve in Parliament?

The conservatives are no longer being subtle about their support for the Murdoch’s and BSkyB. Louise Mensch, blatantly shilling for Murdoch by calling the recent report partisan. Either the Murdochs misled parliament and are therefore corrupt and unfit to run a media company or they are highly incompetent and therefore unfit to run a media company. Either way the inescapable truth is that the Murdoch’s and BSKYB are not fit to hold a media license. Therefore the other inescapable truth is that Louise Mensch and her conservative colleagues are either incompetent or in the pocket of the Murdochs either way they are unfit to serve in parliament.

Rupert Murdoch "is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company", MPs have said.

MPs have come to the rather obvious conclusion that Rupert Murdoch "is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company" unsurprisingly the Tories have inevitably tried to protect Rupert Murdoch. The real surprise in this is that Labour and the Lib Dems have had the bravery to stand up to Rupert Murdoch.

Prime minister tries to protect his culture secretary from being held accountable

In what is turning out to be a terrible week for David Cameron he is now up his neck in trouble, protecting Jeremy Hunt from an inquiry into his dubious relationship with the Murdochs. Cameroons fate is surely now linked with Jeremy Hunts. If Jeremy is forced to quite then there will be massive questions asked as to why David Cameroon blocked a very necessary inquiry.
