'For them to U-turn and start making offers would be the biggest climb down in legal history.'
As Hugh Grant settles a court claim against The Sun's publisher for an 'enormous sum', @mrjamesob speaks to legal consultant Dr Evan Harris about what this might mean for other cases.
Correct. Civil lawsuits not ideal for these purposes. Much better would be a judge led public inquiry. Under instructions from Murdoch, Dacre, the Barcalays etc, this Conservative Govt wriggled out of the legislation that followed Leveson Pt 1. And then cancelled the all…

Not a single one of the many cases brought against The Sun for illegal activity (unlike the defunct News of the World) has come to court, where the full evidence would have been made public. The cost to Rupert Murdoch of keeping the full, sordid details secret is staggering.
Crazy how the right lost their tiny minds over Rayner allegedly owing £1.5k. But holy sh*t not one word said about Lord Bamford owing HMRC £500M. Why do these people continually get away with owing HUGE amounts of £££ but anyone else will get pulled apart? Oh yeah they’re TORY.
An unelected hedge fund manager PM…
Wants to take us out of the ECHR

…and some bellends will think this man is a patriot.
You own a water company….
You enjoy a monopoly market
You sell something people require for survival
You don’t spend profits building or repairing your infrastructure
You give billions to shareholders
You pollute our waters
…you then expect the bill-payer to bail you out.
Chris Patten has just murdered the party of which he was Chairman. It’s all in here - the bilge of Brexit, the worst foreign policy error ever made, and the insanity of the right wing cult’s grip on this once great political machine. Pure gold, spread it.

And so it begins … the privatisation of local government .
Be afraid, people. Once they own your town, they will own you.
This is not democracy as we know it. This is asset grabbing on a humongous scale.
And it would be the slithy Gove

"If I did nothing fuel duty would increase by 13% this month" - this is a fiction. He's just saying "I'm keeping fuel duty where it is not raising it."
The Chancellor decides fuel duty each time, the idea is its goes up if they don't do something, but they always do something.…
