if a super injunction is in place, we'll probably never get to the bottom of this

Very good point, but an easily-forgotten one, it would appear.
It also raises questions as to how genuinely significant this "scandal" is, and why it could "blow Cameron's political agenda out of the water"...

Hyperbole!

I was reading a story a couple of days ago where Andy Coulson was pushing for Samantha Cameron to be given a position as an advisor to PM.
He must really think highly of her...
Indeed!!
I do hope it comes out soon...Id love to see this government crash out of office.
Why? And be replaced with what?
No one has a credible alternative.
I couldn't care less who's in office (within reason) so long as they do good for the country.
I still think it's all about some sort of fratricidal war going on behind the scenes. I know that we shouldn't interfere when our enemies make mistakes, but if Cameron falls he won't be replaced by anything but a more right wing loon.
People think it's bad now, but it can be worse. Ask my Mum's generation.

A govt that doesnt expect the poor and vulnerable,sick and disabled to pay for the mistakes of the rich
Sadly i don;t think Labour have much room for significant alternatives
Labour aren't far removed from Cameron at the moment. I've been looking through the applications for our seat and the candidates are all rather bland and inoffensive.

At least 30 Conservative MPs have signed letters calling for a vote of no confidence in David Cameron's leadership, a leading backbench rebel has said.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the MP - who is believed to have signed one of those letters - told the Huffington Post UK that the number of signers is "into the 30s now".
Some 46 letters would need to be signed for a no confidence vote to be held.
As the HuffPost UK's Ned Simons reported in May: "Under Conservative Party rules a leadership election is triggered if 15% of Conservative MPs call for a no confidence vote in the leader. They do this by sending letters to the chairman of the party's backbench 1922 committee - currently Graham Brady.
"There are currently 304 Tory MPs in the Commons, so 46 of them would need to want to get rid of Cameron for a no confidence vote to be triggered."
Thanks! I appreciate your post!

No probs ! It also says in the article :
In recent weeks, various Conservative cabinet ministers - including home secretary Theresa May, defence secretary Philip Hammond and education secretary Michael Gove - have been accused of being 'on manoeuvres' and positioning themselves ahead of a leadership contest. Last week, Cameron's former director of communications, Andy Coulson, used an article in GQ magazine to accuse Boris Johnson of wanting the prime minister to "fail miserably" at the next election and then take his job - a charge that the mayor of London has strenuously denied.
