Working for Rebekah Brooks was “nothing short of a nightmare,” a court was told today (29 September).
The remarks came during an extraordinary morning of evidence from Sun head of News Chris Pharo, who is testifying over charges over allegations of illegal payments to police officer.
Pharo, 46, told a packed Old Bailey courtroom that when Brooks moved from the News of the World to the Sun the ethos of the paper quickly changed and if he had missed a story in a rival publication: “you would frequently receive over 20 abusive emails a day” then “she [Brooks[ would sulk,” he said.
