final note for this shocking episode: Rebecca Brooks might have resigned at the time, but she didn’t stay gone for long… she’s now the CEO of News UK, i.e., in charge of Rupert Murdoch's media empire in the UK.

#EnormousDeletion - could that be the more than *30 million* emails that were deleted by Rupert Murdoch's UK company, News Group Newspapers, during the phone-hacking scandal? #TheHack

“I believe that powerful forces are involved in a cover up” You don’t say. #TheHack

Referring to Nick Davies #TheHack
*Every* journalist worth their salt can only look on in complete and utter, envious, admiration.

Too many. Media reform is the only way to regain a functioning country. With big name 'quality' papers spewing out this drivel daily no wonder we aren't a serious country anymore. Misinformation is rotting our brains. I support @hackedoff.bsky.social & their call for reform & accountability.

Jacqui Hames - “I don’t think anyone’s understood the depth of criminality here, destabilising police investigations, I mean we’re talking about a murder charge.” #TheHack

Gordon Brown “Correct me if I’m wrong but the problem that we have is that the police, politicians and press are all collaborating under Murdoch’s aegis”

No correction. #TheHack

Nick: "The whole industry turned away like a complicit snake"

Sounds about right. #TheHack
October 30, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Jacqui: "Someone from within the Met - sold him my information"

Corruption and collusion going back decades. #TheHack

BSkyB explainer - another media mega corp that Rupert Murdoch wanted control of - to add to his long list. It would have reduced the choice of UK TV news providers. Less choice, more Murdoch. Sound familiar? #TheHack

Gordon Brown: “I think this country has become polluted - and I think that we could all, should all, try to do something about it, don’t you?”

Still true. #PressAbuse #Corruption #TheHack

"In all the years that I have been a judge, I have never come across a case in which there have been so many issues or such complex issues to be resolved before a trial could even get underway.”

Nothing to see here. #TheHack

"How bad was the culture at your newspaper?"
Coulson “I don't accept there was any culture of phone hacking at the News of The World.” That didn't age well. #TheHack
