We now make it 5/6 that David Cameron says ‘lol’ at least once during PMQs this year #LOLgate #camerontexts

The Moggster’s verdict re LOL. Jacob Rees-Mogg: “I would have thought he’d sign off yours sincerely, but never mind.†bit.ly/JERI9o

#leveson Not too charmed by RB’s feisty, winning ways, we hope,@moreysue (et al), but we can see why Rupe took such a shine to her, yes?

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the appearance by Rebekah Brooks before Leveson but I’m not sure that, so far, we have learned that much beyond that Dave, apparently, thought that LOL on a text means “lots of love”.
Those who were saying that this week’s appearances were going to be defining moments are going to be disappointed. Coulson coped well yesterday and Brooks has today. It’s interesting but not really significant so far.

Where this takes us is hard to say. The most significant development this week has been Leveson’s refusal to get involved in the Jeremy Hunt business.
The delaying tactic won’t work. Dave is going to have to decide himself how to take this forward.
