In all honesty it's highly unlikely that draconian press regulation is going to be imposed; Cameron said as much in the Commons this afternoon and was still wittering on about that old chestnut 'self-regualtion', which is politician-speak for 'do what thou wilt'.

It remains to be seen if the Dirty Digger will have lost his grip on the balls of the UK's politicos: remember that Brooks is a personal friend of Cameron and they move in the same circles. Hell hath no fury, and I suspect Dave is quaking in his boots at the thought of pissing her off.
