Was it Private Eye who mentioned there being a hack at the NOTW who got all of his stories by phone hacking from the office, and was thus dubbed "The Olympic Flame" because he never went out?

This got very muddy very quickly, and I haven't kept up - but there were postponements, then tweets claiming they didn't want to jeopardize a court case, and that they were working with media outlets to prepare the mails for publication.
But at this point I'm assuming that they claimed to have the mails for lulz.

More from Brooks:
"For the benefit of the campaign for Sarah's Law, the News of the World have provided Sara with a mobile telephone for the last 11 years. It was not a personal gift."The idea that anyone on the newspaper knew that Sara or the campaign team were targeted by Mr Mulcaire is unthinkable. The idea of her being targeted is beyond my comprehension. It is imperative for Sara and the other victims of crime that these allegations are investigated and those culpable brought to justice."

In the final edition of the NoW on 10 July, Ms Payne wrote a farewell column for the paper describing its staff as "my good and trusted friends".

private eye has a devastating little story about this. sara payne suffered a terrible stroke recently and is severely incapacitated. when she came into the office, lots of her actual good and trusted friends at the notw saw how ill she was and insisted they send her home. but sara said she couldn't go because "rebekah said she was calling in a favour".

Statement from Payne family:
"Whilst it was previously confirmed by ‘Operation Weeting’ that Sara Payne’s name was not on Private Investigator ‘Glenn Mulcaire’ list, it has now been confirmed by the ‘Operation Weeting’ that Sara’s details are on his list."Sara is absolutely devastated by this news, we’re all deeply disappointed and are just working to get her through it."Sara will continue to work with the proper authorities regarding this matter, there will be a further statement in due course, but at this point in time, she (or we) can make no further comment."

^^ this dude said earlier it was going to be published at 5pm today. sounds like guido fawkes bollocks to me. he and the telegraph are desperate to get the mirror implicated, because they'd obv prefer it was bipartisan illegality. but they haven't got a treasure trove of info like the mulcaire files, so even though the mirror almost certainly hacked phones, they can't land a blow.

"It was not a personal gift."
This is not made better by the fact it was for business.
"The idea that anyone on the newspaper knew that Sara or the campaign team were targeted by Mr Mulcaire is unthinkable."
Why is it unthinkable? He's been convicted for doing similar.
"The idea of her being targeted is beyond my comprehension."

James Murdoch received a ringing endorsement from directors of satellite group BSkyB earlier today just as the phone hacking scandal reached a new low with details that Sara Payne, the mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah, had been a victim of the News of the World. A lengthy board meeting at BSkyB ended with unanimous support for Rupert Murdoch's youngest son to continue as chairman of the group following the collapse of his family firm's bid for the 61% of the satellite business it did not already own.
James Murdoch could soon earn a cash bonus of up to $12m (£7.3m) from News Corporation on top of his $3m salary even though the part of the company he has run has been mired in the phone-hacking scandal, shut one of its flagship British newspapers and been forced to abandon the bid for BSkyB in the wake of cross-party hostility in the UK.
― James Mitchell, Thursday, 28 July 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
nearly half the non-exec directors of bskyb are current or former employees or murdoch businesses. add the votes of the CEO and CFO and the murdoch payroll has a majority. not sure this is "good corporate governance".

tbf to the telegraph, they did far more of the running on the NOTW/NI story than the mirror (or the bbc or anyone except the guardian and the nyt for that matter), and pretty much all of them hate NI far more than they care about any political party.
