I think The Labour Party and The Speaker can consider themselves told off.
Not told off as such more a question of being patient, besides, Smith and Michel's evidence will probably bring up even more awkward questions for Hunt

They may do but they have still been told off, let the enquiry take its cause or lets not carry on with it was the message.
I think he asked that in answer to Labour politicians muck raking and I understand why he did that.
TBH I think Leigh's underlyong agenda is a very different one to that of the Labour Party yesterday...who were flogging last weeks news...though I still maintain had Dave referrred Jezza to the Independent Advisor instead of immediately blurring the issue with Leveson he would have saved a lot of this.
Interesting that Sky are covering Adam Boulton's evidence to the enquiry but the BBC are not. Is Nick Robinson due to give evidence as well?
Oh I hope so. I've got about 100 questions needing to be asked. Maybe I could pass them on to Jay - who seems to be happy to take questions from anyone these days. Unfortunately as they all involve the use of the words "pillock" or "raincoat" (quite a few have both) I'm not holding out much hope.

Was fun seeing Bluster Boulton for a while this pm....though he looks these days more and more and, especially at times this pm, like a heart attack waiting to happen. :eek:

Welll told off

I think you'll find that the MP who wanted evidence to be released to the House before the inquiry was Edward Leigh, a Conservative

But he still asked it

It's always heartening to see a politician willing to put the best interests of the country before party politics.
Good diversion but the opinion is Hariett Harman should shut up.
Labour are keeping the pressure on.
That's the job of Her Madge's Official Opposition.

From 5m30s: Lord Leveson asking Commons to lay off Jeremy Hunt until he's given evidence at the Inquiry.
From 23m: Adam Boulton's evidence. Starts with some interesting stuff about how he came to marry an ex-Tony Blair aide.

Shame the Mail gets the Speaker's name wrong.
Two people arrested today in connection with alleged corrupt payments to public officials (Op Elveden) have been bailed until August.
(I think this is journalists, but not certain.)
I think I heard on the news earlier today that one of them was a Customs Official
Yep!
