The mainstream media, i.e. someone other than the Guardian, has picked up on today’s High Court hearing which could screw News International even further over its use of phone-hacking at the News of the World. Lawyers are talking about serious compensation claims if Mr Justice Vos agrees to force the release of information which could confirm up to 5000 victims of voice-mail interceptions. Shareholders are likely to be unimpressed.
The big prize for some however lays in establishing a different kind of money trail. Labour wants to highlight the relationship between the damaged Murdoch news empire and the Conservatives. We expect that revelations of a private dinner attended by PM David Cameron will resurface soon.
