Incidentally, one of the smaller spinoff stories in case you didn't catch it:
The absolute top brass of the Met including the commissioner himself paid two visits to the Guardian (two months after hiring Wallis) to tell them their coverage was 'exaggerated' and there shouldn't be any implication that the police were complicit in the hacking.

This story is moving so fast - and seemingly still gathering momentum - that the Guardian have a live updates page, the way they do from trials and inquests!
