  1. Ken Clarke: "The power of the press is now far greater than the power than parliament." #leveson
  2. Er... that was quick. Gorkana alert: "Editors of the Daily Mirror&Sunday Mirror, Richard Wallace & Tina Weaver have left their publications"
  3. Cable stresses he didn't cosy up to editors/proprietors. But worth pointing out media never cosied up to Lib Dems in same way as Lab/Tories.
  4. From SMirror's @NicholasOwens - Lloyd Embley addressed shell-shocked staff standing on a desk the Mirror newsroom: "We're in this together"
  5. Sunday Mirror man RT @NicholasOwens Conference called to plan getting the paper out. Proof of the professionalism of a (shell-shocked) team
  6. Ouch. Cable goes on the attack - saying he "believes" the veiled threats were made by News Corp's Fred Michel. #leveson
  7. Cable says colleagues told him there had been "veiled threats" that if he made the "wrong" decision "my party would be done over" #leveson
  8. Cable says during the Telegraph sting he offloaded "pent up feelings" about the BSkyB bid but also "my colleagues in government" #leveson
  9. @AlexWesty Email to staff says a new editor of the People will be announced "imminently"
  10. Cable written evidence: ref to War on Murdoch "making the point,no doubt rather hyperbolically,that I had no intention of being intimidated"
  11. Cable written evidence: "colleagues expressed some alarm about whether this whole affair was going to lead to retribution" against Lib Dems
  12. Vince Cable says in his written evidence there was a "sense of being under seige from a well organised operation" during the BSkyB bid
  13. Cable written evidence: came to believe the "Murdoch's political influence exercised through their newspapers had become disproportionate"
  14. Email to Mirror staff:"As a consequence of these changes the roles of Editor Daily Mirror and Editor Sunday Mirror have been made redundant"
  15. Mark Hollinshead email to Mirror staff:"Today I'm announcing that the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror are to move to a 7day publishing model"
  16. I'm hearing the news at Mirror Group group blindsided both Richard Wallace & Tina Weaver.
  17. I hear will be an editor of the weekday Mirror & weekend Mirror reporting to Embley. A reflection of growth of Saturday newspapers.
  18. The news at Mirror Group (Daily & Sunday Mirror under one editor) shows the real backdrop to Leveson. Tough times for newspapers.
  19. The People's editor Lloyd Embley will edit new 7 day operation - @markkleinmansky blog bit.ly/MXkNiL
  20. BREAK: Daily & Sunday Mirror editors both stepping down - @markkleinmansky blog is here bit.ly/MXkNiL
