The Conservative Party have called for a fresh inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press after the one they’ve just spent £6m on didn’t reach the conclusion they wanted.

Speaking in the Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron opposed the recommendations of the Leveson inquiry on the grounds that they were different to what he had in mind.

“Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a brilliant report,” he said. “It’s got loads of really good words in it and it’s impressively heavy. But what it fundamentally lacks are the recommendations that I want.”
