Rebekah Brooks: the calm before the Snow storm

More details are emerging about the garden party thrown by Matthew Freud and Elisabeth Murdoch in Oxfordshire last weekend , where guests included Rebekah Brooks, Alan Yentob and film director Tim Burton. It turns out BBC business editor Robert Peston, who is close to News International general manager Will Lewis, was also at the bash, resplendent in a peach cotton scarf. He was huddled together with Brooks, Lewis and James Murdoch for a good part of the evening, according to an eyewitness. Meanwhile, Jon Snow of Channel 4 News, which would break fresh revelations about Brooks later in the week, apparently cavorted on the dancefloor in embarrassing dad fashion. If the NI boss had known about the coverage Channel 4 News had planned she would have stuck a foot out as he strutted his stuff.
