The Mirror and Sunday Mirror are merging into a seven day operation…
UPDATE: Current People editor Lloyd Embley is the new editor of the Mirror.
UPDATE II: Apparently Wallace was not even allowed back to his office to get his things. Unlike Sly Bailey, these two won’t be leaving their jobs £14m better off.
UPDATE III:
Mirror staff apparently standing around stunned. 7-day was on the cards, but summary sacking of Weaver/Wallace a shock.—

Does anyone still read that rag ?
I do together with the Sun (for the girlie pics) and the Portsmouth News otherwise known as the Handycock News.
When will Piers be arrested?
When will they get rid of toerag Toilets Maguire ?
Weaver & Wallace did not keep up with the news!
Fancy getting surprised like that.
Does not say much for their information gathering skills.
Yes, I believe there are still some folk who keep racing pigeons, put brown sauce on their chips and say “Eigh up, mother, ‘appen I’ll go to foot of stairs!”
I toook my cat t’ vets today ta be neutered.
Is it a Tom?
Nay, I’ve just said ‘avent I, it’s at foooking vets!
Of course local dialects have almost disappeared from “The Beacon of Is-lam”.
Of course local dialects have almost vanished from “The Beacon of Is-lam”.
God I haven’t heard that joke for decades but the final line was “No I brought it wi me” when I was living up t’north.
Bald men fighting over a comb. They’re finished.
I suspect Kevin Maguire will work for the Huffington Copy and Paste by the end of the year along with the irritable Mehdi Hassan.
Toilets wouldn’t get a job in charge of a public urinal.
We’re looking for a head of political news.
Kevin seems eminently suitable on so very many levels.
I’m looking for his head on a plate.
I thought he already did work for the BBC, given the frequency he appears on the box.
I’m free, for how much longer, I don’t know !
I was mightily amused to see Wallace’s Leveson appearance, in particular his denial of phone hacking at the Mirror.
I have searched the web to find a replay but all of those posted on-line end very abruptly, immediately after the denial…but before his body language kicks in.
Only a matter of time before the merger of the Daily Star and Fawkes Incorporated.
You heard it here first.
Round the other way its acronym would read FIDS.
Fawkes International you mean.
could be FIDS but I prefer SDIF
The Daily Stakes?
The Storks
Tits R Us
I’ve always had stäines on page three.
Communist cluster-f**ks.
And Tom Watson not crowing about more red-top scalps???
The whole leveson thing has been jumped on by the left and turned into a vendetta against one part of the media. Funny how they ignore the wrong-doing in the rest of the left leaning media.
Only a matter of time….if you push a rock downhill you’ll find that before it gets to the bottom all in its way are swept away. Nobody will emerge from Leveson be they politicians current or ex or newspapers whoever they are or media be they state owned or privately owned unscathed….Cameron pushed the nucleur option when he set up Leveson and he didn’t even realise he had done so……………
I hope all the luvvy whingers also get their come uppance, and their odious lawyer, Lewis !
But the Mirror is shit.
Much prefer the Star on sunday
I’m gonna kill that Hughie Green when I see him.
“Toilets” must be due for a flush then ?
O?T COULSON Has been arrested in Scotland !
Thats what you get for not looking at the last thread
Bit early for you to be taking the strong stuff, squire?
Christ on a bike, is it morning already……!
Nah!
Not in Tahiti, it ain’t…
If you were watching us you’d have know that as our camera teams went in with the police.
Press the ‘red Ed’ button for more coverage.
The Mirror and the Guardian are both totally fucked, I reckon both will be just about gone within 12 months.
sorry but you are wrong the mirror yes because of its pension deficit it may need to merge with the yourshire post group, but the guardian has a trust fund and extracts money via autotrader so no joy their and i bet they would close the observer down and replace it with a 7 day guardian operation
I think the fact that the Guardian barely scrapes 200’000 readers is because it is so exclusive – we can’t all be opinion formers you know. In fact I think the less readers it has, the more it should be allowed to define the discourse surrounding our culture and government policy.
Also, public sector workers should naturally be paid more because they are more highly qualified than all those thick people in the public sector. Some of their liberal arts degrees required over 5 hours a week of study, so they should be justly compensated by the taxpayer.
I am thrilled that Cameron feels he has to bend over backwards to appease the likes of me, when I have no intention of voting for him anyway. It really does suit me down to the ground.
BBC World TV paper review this morning highlighted the Grundian berating our lovely Christine for not paying tax on her IMF salary. Whoda thunk it?
Where The Sun shines a path The Mirror ehhhh well …. mirrors
errrrrrrr along with The Times, Express, and The Sunday Star
I shout at Blue toilet duck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But love it when the missus has ‘the painters in’
Up here the Loamshire Clarion has kept pretty much out of the mire, although it’s said that their ace reporter (Sally Belcher) is a terror for reading documents upside-down on other people’s desks.
So what !!!!
At least they are not all on Bail
Tommy Sheridan…The Revenge….COME ON !!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you turn the exclamation mark off on a lap top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try a hammer, dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop resting your cock on the key
My cock’s on F5
You need to refresh faster
F5? I doubt it.
Possibly the touch pad but only then if the lap tops, actually on your lap.
I thought sheridan was as guilty as hell?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s LAYBORE SO IS AUTOMATIKALY INNECENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You couldn’t make it up this morning.

Another bad week for The Cock and Gidders.
Andy Cockson will sing like a canary…oh dear !!!!!!!
At least my fine for putting the bins out early has fallen by £40……26 months and Dave is already out of ideas.
Does Ed’s blank sheet of paper sound like he has ANY ideas?
Every sensible policy Ed has had is on that sheet of paper. It’s the sum total of his thought process.
If you could paint a picture of Ed’s thought process I would imagine it would just be a beautifully solid blue sky with a solitary bird flying somewhere in the distance.
Beginning to think a blank sheet government is a good idea. Does not spend any money and does not steal any from me either.
Just because Ed hasn’t published any ideas doesn’t mean that his union puppet-masters haven’t got a very long list.
It’s what goes on behind the blank piece of paper that should scare the bejaysuss out of you.
Not for Ed or any of his cohort. More no goverment and let everyone get on with our lives
And your new ideas, beyond ridiculing everything the “Nasty Tories” do or don’t do, is….. do the same with more exclamation marks.
Aimed at your level, from the cartoon film “Ratatouille”:
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.”
Just telling him to fuck off would have been quicker plus he may have understood that
You are right, of course.
FUCK OFF SNOTTY!
Done. Thanks Nom Dom.
Old Bob Maxwell must be revolving in his grave
The new editor of the Mirror highlights its key selling point
Potato the dog, FFS?? Am I tripping?
Dawn Porter would get it. Very rude looking lady.
Even Socialist newspapers realise the sensibility of disposing of their rubbish on the correct day.
Spare a thought for poor old Lev. Even Cable not stepping on the bandwagon of making NI the sole scapegoat.
It’s a good day to incinerate ‘bad news’
It wouldn’t surprise me if in a few years time we the BBC being really blatant in their bias. We’ll probably have Hassan, McGuire and Toynbee heading up the news desk. I can see it happening and it makes me cry a little inside.
…with Abu Qatada as the DG?
I’ll only do it if I can call it in from Italy. I’m not getting any younger,smarter or prettier.
And i might not even bother with that. I fancy stripping naked and lying by the pool, sipping a kir royale and reading the shares page of the Times.
My golden pension pot is almost overflowing now those evil capitalist investments have done so well.
You give mammals like me a bad name.
Any connection between the Mirror Groups Monday of the Long Knives and Leveson getting warmer is purely in the minds of the eternally .optimistic
So they’ve got to the Ws at last?
They are all Ws, William.
Is it a preemptive strike before the Mirror eventually ends up in the Leveson Bliar love den?
Pure hyperbole on my account.
THE END IS NIGH BLUE NOSES.
Prosecution “””Did you ever or at anytime pass hacked information on to Dave, or act on requests from Tory HQ to acquire information ”””
Andy C “”Can I plead the fifth””
Prosecution “”errrr no“”
OH DEAR !!!!!!
You’re on exam leave to do revision! Now switch that thing off and get back to “Roald Dahl – Social Commentator?”
well it not over until a jury convicts to hang tight this could get messy and if coulsen going down i bet he will take a lot of others with him from the labour press as well

Are Trinity Mirror clearing the decks prior to Knacker of the Yard feeling some collars?
We are all pretty certain that hacking was across the board, and hints about increasing the present scope have been made.
All the press were at hacking some more than others. i think the news international were doing it more than others. what about the telepgraph and expenses claims. what about all the leaks the guardian gets on government policies. What about Robert Preston and the run on northern rock. as i have said be careful ehat you wish for as this could get very messy. Some of the other organisations do not have deep pockets as news international
Taxi for Maguire!!
Serious question: if an office summarily dismisses an employee, escorts him from the building and refuses to allow him to collect his possessions, what can he do about it? Especially these days he might have left something valuable there, like a computer of his own. Can he call the police and make a report for theft?
Ask one his mates to bring his things down …. or bawl his eyes out?
Two hoons about to be replaced by another two hoons. No one is reading their tripe anymore.
All a bit rushed? Some cover up, perhaps? Trinity know something is about to be blown wide open?
Two editors jobs merged into one, both current editors escorted immediately off the premises. Yet they have been made redundant?
Surely they should have been given notice and allowed to apply for the one remaining job?
That’s a couple of good cases for employment lawyers.
When are they sacking the c*keheads who work for The Mirror?
They won’t squeal. They are up to their neck in the Brown stuff!
I worked for the Mirror that’s why I knew I was being hacked. They were all at it!
They are bullying, exploitive, destructive cowards.
