Watson is so darned brave, hard as nails

staring into the eyes of the monster

Just the Millie Dowler case, he don't care about the rest.

What are Tom Watson's politics like? Do we like him outside of this?

You know that bit in Celebrity Mastermind when the celeb goes completely blank on their specialist subject? Like that, but not for charity.

Yeah, "quantum" was balls. Job interview failure.

there needs to be a killer question, maybe they're holding off so as to not influence later proceedings but

JM's voice is so fascinating, like he went to a hypnotise-people-into-having-sex-with-you course and learned how to soothe.

2.57pm: Tom Watson is engaging in a thorough and detailed questioning of Rupert Murdoch of the details of the phone hacking investigations carried out internally at News International - who knew what, and when. Rupert Murdoch, who is 80, appears to be having considerable trouble following the questions and finding appropriate answers. There are long pauses between the end of Watson's questions and Murdoch's answers.

did james actually just use the word "quantum" for like no reason at all? how do you learn to blather meaninglessly like that?

Tom used to be on the centre-right of the party back in the day so he's probably more or less considered a communist now

TW's been playing it down saying there will be no denouement, i don't know what could happen that would be conclusive; how unappealingly they're coming off is probably not a bad result here

I agree, that's a pretty decent pay-off and could easily bollocks his share value within minutes

they're being very careful not to commit themselves to any position that can be disproved later. committee can't do much about that rather than keep probing away. this was never gonna be the Murdochs' trial.

two summaries from bbc feed i'm wanting a 'Like' button for

1502: James Murdoch says it would be "more helpful" to ask him about details of decisions. Mr Watson replies it is "revealing in itself" what Rupert Murdoch does not know.

1501: Tom Watson - the man who once shouted that Michael Gove was a "miserable pipsqueak" across the Commons - is being very softly spoken in his questioning of Rupert Murdoch.
