Exclusive: former prime minister Gordon Brown has written to the Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley calling for a second criminal phone-hacking investigation into News Group Newspapers, namely into the alleged “destruction of evidence by the organisation and the cover up that followed” (see attached). News Group Newspapers, owner of the Sun and previous owner of the defunct News of the World, said “Mr Brown’s allegations are unfounded and wrong” and “they are denied by NGN in a detailed defence for the court”

Anne Frank and her family were betrayed by a neighbour 79 years ago. In 1987 I covered the trial of the Butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie. Hearing that a man he’d arrested still lived near Lyon, I went to interview him. ‘How did Barbie know about you?’ I asked. ‘My neighbour betrayed me.’ ‘What happened to him?’ ‘He’s still my neighbour.’ And indeed I could see that the neighbour was actually in his garden, listening to us. He ran indoors when we started filming him. Imagine living 40 years next to the man who’d sent you to a concentration camp.

SECOND POINT - We require and demand a full apology from you....

Article in @TheNewEuropean - @gameoldgirl on the Daily Mail's reporting of migrants. Does this matter if newspapers are dying out? “Yes, their output sets the news agenda for broadcasters, influences politicians and is shared widely on social media.”

Man in the audience, "Boris Johnson was given £250,000 of public money to defend himself..It's outrageous that people sitting in this audience, should they need legal aid might not secure it, but Boris Johnson, a multi millionaire, is given £250,000. It's a scandal." #BBCQT
