Leveson Inquiry: Brooks sent Cameron supportive message
Ex-News International executive Rebekah Brooks told the PM she was "rooting for him" both professionally and personally after the Sun switched allegiance to his party, the Leveson Inquiry heard.
The text was discussed during Mr Cameron's evidence about the relationship between MPs and the press.

Mr Cameron said Mr Brown's claims that the Tories agreed to cut funding for the BBC and media regulator Ofcom in return for political support from News International had been made because he was "very angry and disappointed" at the Sun's decision to switch support from Labour ahead of the 2010 general election.
Mr Cameron said the message of support from Mrs Brooks, dated October 2009, was a reflection of the fact that the Sun had the previous week switched its support to the Conservatives.
