David Cameron's former communications chief, Andy Coulson, is charged with committing perjury during the Tommy Sheridan trial at Glasgow's High Court.

Labour steps up demands for Jeremy Hunt to resign amid fresh claims the Culture Secretary colluded with Rupert Murdoch's empire in a bid to block a public inquiry into phone hacking.

Leveson: a News Corp lobbyist's email suggests that Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt asked him for private advice about the government's stance on phone-hacking.

The Metropolitan Police tell the Leveson inquiry that the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler was hacked by the News of the World, but cannot say if her messages were deleted by journalists.

The Prime Minister has insisted there was no deal between the Conservatives and Rupert Murdoch to smooth the way for the tycoon's takeover of BSkyB.

Rupert Murdoch tells the Leveson inquiry the News of the World was involved in a phone-hacking "cover-up". But former NoW legal manager Tom Crone accuses Mr Murdoch of a "shameful lie".

Gordon Brown calls for Rupert Murdoch to correct his testimony to the Leveson inquiry after the media mogul claimed the former prime minister made threats when the Sun backed the Tories in 2009.
