And just to make the Prime Minister's day - the judge in the trial has severely criticised David Cameron from the bench. The judge Mr Justice Saunders rebuked David Cameron for commenting on the conviction of Andy Coulson while the phone-hacking trial was still going on, the judge said he consider that what has happened was unsatisfactory so far as justice and the rule of law are concerned. |

We can't have been watching the same programme, Dermot. What was deplorable was the abusive cat calling and whining from the Tory back benches. |

Didn't learn anything new on this topic during PMQs. Just a lot of hot air interrupted occasionally by the two main mealy-mouthed protagonists. |

One does wonder if the jury had consisted of more men whether or not she would have been found innocent! |

I am watching This Morning and there is a very interesting perspective being voiced by somebody involved with the case. |

I agree, no smoke without fire, and this whole issue is hidden in thick smoke, money buys power and many of those involved were part of the so called Chipping Norton Set - consisting of powerful political and media figures, and this elite clique certainly had both of these. The Prime Minister should not be allowed to brush the issue aside with the feeble apology he issued yesterday. |

I think the reason for the time gap from the time the verdict was issued till he "sneaked" out his apology via Sky - was he needed to check with Maria Miller his ex Culture Secretary on how to make an apology - remember her 31-second apology over the issue surrounding her expenses:-D |

David Cameron has just been on the news making an apology for employing Coulson but I didn't think it was much of an apology - very short and perfunctory. |

In July 2011 the Prime Minister David Cameron said in the House of Commons "I have an old-fashioned view about innocent until proven guilty. But if it turns out I have been lied to, that would be the moment for a profound apology. In that event, I can tell you I will not fall short" |

Rebecca Brooks has been found not guilty of all charges of phone hacking but former News of the World editor Andy Coulson found guilty at the Old Bailey in London of conspiring to hack phones - more verdicts to come. |
