Pressure grows over PM's texts to Rebekah Brooks

DAVID Cameron is facing fresh embarrassment over playful text message exchanges with Rebekah Brooks as calls for full disclosure intensify, with claims 150 exchanges have not been seen by Lord Justice Leveson.

With the judge's report due to be published this month, two more messages from 2009 between the Prime Minister and the former tabloid editor and News International chief executive have been revealed.

In one, Brooks, facing trial over the phone-hacking scandal, texted Mr Cameron following his 2009 party conference address . She wrote: "Brilliant speech. I cried twice. Will love 'working together'." In another text, the PM, referring to Brooks's racehorse trainer husband Charlie, wrote: "The horse CB put me on. Fast, unpredictable and hard to control but fun. DC."
