I think the obvious thing is that old Rupert has been lying through his teeth.....

Has for 'Sir John', why are we expected to believe that everything he recounts is the truth??.....Let's not forget, here's a man who is a proven liar, after telling porkies to his missus for years, while boning his work colleague....

Yeah 2 ex-Pm's have now by their evidence accused Rupert of telling lies.
Now if it had just been Brown V Murdoch he would get away with it as it is one against the other but 2 have now pretty much stated that under oath Rupert isn't being honest.

I belive that is perjury (under oath) Rupert and will get you in rather how water (Although i'm not sure how it is punishable in this case).

Edit-Although to be honest they don't agree with each other (Major v Brown) either.

Strangely enough, Louise Mensch (yes her of the I was trolled by someone who actually looked like a real troll fame), was yesterday accusing Brown of lying because he suggested that Murdoch hadn't been telling the truth. Not a peep from her today on what Major had to say on the subject.

Osborne must be literally shitting himself at the prospect of appearing in person, it was the very last thing he wanted. He simply does not have the debating skills of his peers and tory grandees will be watching his performance through their fingers.

Robert Jay is just the sort of onion-peeler that will bring out the spoilt-brat, Bullingdon Boy for everyone to see.

What are the odds on Gideon developing a "bladder infection" over the weekend?

I think Jay has been very poor. His only real success came as a result of the revelation of the e-mails, which was hardly down to him. His "interrogation" of Murdoch was dire. And he's allowed Blair, Brown & Major to indulge themselves in exercises in self justification. They politicians will be queuing up to give evidence if this is the best he can do.

As I said, Robert Jay is an onion peeler, there'll be no quick kills in this enquiry but the damage will be done when he's finally peeled back all the layers of bullshit, lies and spin.

This could well end up being Camoron's very own Watergate

And its worth mentioning that Watergate didn't have any quick kills either, it took a very long time to peel back all of the evidence until it added up to something very nasty.

The interesting conclusions I'm looking forward to will be the timelines and the link diagrams that will produced at the end of it all

And she and five others have been sent for trial.

So let's all be extremely careful about what we say now.

Not sure all Gordon Brown's evidence was that credible though in that part of it seems to have been contradicted by Sir John and just about every other politician and journalist there is.
