Brooks keeps talking about the Sun in the present tense. It's almost as if she doesn't think she's left.
Well she is being asked to transport herself back into the newsroom and talk about what went on so perhaps that's why she is taking that approach. And she did work there for so long that maybe she does feel it's still very much a part of her. I imagine newsrooms are probably a bit like that. Piers Morgan probably still feels close to The Mirror.

There are some jobs where you feel very much part of a family.

Fair comment.
With the immediate reaction from the BBC to what she's said - not reporting on the bulk of what was said, just looking hungrily around for smoking guns - I found myself thinking of Leveson's remarks yesterday. I haven't been able to download them (the site is seriously busy) but AFAICR it was about hunting through the Inquiry for conspiracy theories and saying that if that's what they were doing, people would be far better off reading fiction.
So far, I'm on the fence with Brooks. She's cagey but I sense that's partially because of her circumstances and partially because she *is* a journalist and is not about to reveal her sources. She's not as clued up as Coulson but of all the journalists / editors that have so far presented at Leveson , I have to say that this is the first one who genuinely does seem to be "on the reader's side".
She seems to be able to remember an awful lot about her dealings with Gordon Brown but seems strangely forgetful when it comes to her dealings with David Cameron. Maybe Brown was more memorable.

No way! I think her hair is great!
Nice dig at Brown and Whelan there.
What I have learned about Coulson and Brooks is that that each of them is highly intelligent and articulate.
I have also learned that politicians and journalists mix a lot and sometimes have dinner together.
Tit for tat imo. He does a lot of smiling too.
Oh absolutely. I sort of hope both find employment in the future because I do believe they're two great talents at what they do.
She is busy being a mother.
Coulson will find gainful employment when this is over, I am certain of it.
I noticed that in her last comments. Previously it was all past tense. Yet she left the Mirror years ago.

Interesting.
Remember that song about the smile of the crocodile
