Guido is hearing that big things could be on the horizon for former Mirror hack Dan Evans. Rumour has it Evans, who worked at the paper’s Sunday operation under Tina Weaver before moving to the News of the World in 2005, has been in talks with a major TV production company. Evans was a key player in the Screws’ features team and is on bail over phone-hacking allegations after his arrest in August 2011. The US market is also said to have expressed an interest…

The Mirror lies over the ocean?
Cameron Conservatives are promising milk and honey after 2015? I wonder why only in 2015?
@Anon
“why only in 2015?”
Because 2015 the Tory Party will be nothing more than a bad memory.
Because we’ll have a proper government then.
It’s,”My Bonny lies’ over the Ocean”….
It’s all lies…
My bonny lies over the ocean
My bonny lies over the sea
My daddy lied over my mummy
and that’s how my mummy got me.
Diane Abbott found this attack deeply distressing and therefore we shall seize all of the Express assets, then Patrick O’Flynn shall be hung by the neck until he is dead.
The end justifies the means Dianne.
Except the City of London school says this about it’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF)
“the playground doubles as the CCF parade ground – the corps is one of the largest in the country, the school tells us, with 300 boys of all ages”
http://www.tatler.com/guides/schools-guide/2012/public/city-of-london-school
So Diane’s lad had Military training at his private school.
Doesn’t say he killed anyone though.
CCF don’t normally go into combat. Sometimes raid the odd scout hut, but the about it.
Apparently Ed Miliband will play the part of a foppish, stuttering twat.
…and the public face of ‘Sucked Off’
Not so much ‘playing it’ as living it.
And so it ends, the end of the Daily Mirror.
Missed only by the mentally incontinent and scousers
It appeals to the Andy Capped.
Nice one!
No need to denigrate Scousers – I live among them and they are good people. Was tempted to make a comment about you but then I’d be sinking to your level.
Tell me, exactly how high is your horse?
If you think the Mirror’s bad, you should see its Scottish sister-rag, the Record. It makes the Mirror look like an intellectual heavyweight.
Heard about this yesterday.
We need another state funded broadcaster to rival and counterbalance the BBC.
The BBC should be privatised.
It would raise about £6 – 10 billion pounds AND reduce EVERY families annual tv tax, tax burden by about the same amount as when Labour put it up by scrapping the 10p tax rate.
£6bn, are you sure? They’ve got a back-catalogue of 70′s sitcoms plus a load of dumbed-down contemporary documentaries starring Prof Brian Cox (which no-one can understand because there’s music blaring away from start to finish), plus a few by that Scottish bloke with long hair who we wouldn’t be able to understand even if we could hear him.
My highest offer is for £50, and for that I just want one of the original-style Daleks. The rest of the BBC can go in a skip.
They do have a brand spanking new newsroom though…biggest in Europe apparently….which is nice.
Not to mention more than 2,000 copy-and-paste merchants masquerading as journalists. 2,000 of the fuckers. That’s more than all the dead tree press companies on Fleet Street combined, and probably a few major cities such as Manchester, Glasgow, Brum as well.
Channel 4 news have applied for the position of alternative broadcaster.
“Same liberal spin, different time slot” looks like a winning slogan
Yes lets have fox doing “fair and balanced” news instead. Always on message.
Why always Fox?
What is about a successful formula that drives lefties wild?
Is it envy?
Is it so impossible to imagine a TV channel where the answer to each and every question/subject/issue/problem is not “more spending” ?
Oi’ leave my buss pass out of it, I need that when I go to the exciting major disater areas of the world, only to report you understand.
How come the BBC never gets exemplary fines when it breaks its Royal Charter?
The Grass is always Greener on the other side. . .
Haven’t you got a column in the Sun now you twat?
Under the new rules, if Dan Evans denied this story and you had named your source and s/he was in the jurisdiction while you remained outside, could the exemplary punishment be given to your source?
Erm…
We’ll summon everyone to a meeting in the broom cupboard at 2am and declare our decision in the morning.
Better email it to Hugh Grant first.
Don’t want to go off message.
When Fraser Nelson announced months ago that The Spectator wouldn’t sign up to any state control, I took out a subscription the next day.
It’s comforting to know that Guido and my newspaper of choice The Telegraph have also declined to take part.
C. Brooker always tells it like it is.
