✦ Synopsis

The Leveson Inquiry has, throughout 2012, attracted countless column inches as it has examined press regulation in the UK. Inside a London courtroom, the Inquiry has progressed and debates surrounding core issues such as freedom of speech have been ignited. Journalists, politicians, policemen - along with the odd film star - have been summonsed to the Royal Courts of Justice. Throughout it all, the Guardian's sketch writers caught the characters and comments, the atmosphere and attitude of events. The resultant pen-portraits of the key players, from Rupert Murdoch to David Cameron, are all collected here in this special overview of the Inquiry's most momentous days. Full of life and observation, they offer a unique view from the heart of the action within Court 73 itself and are accompanied by an exclusive introduction from Dan Roberts, the Guardian's National News Editor.
