Today's news, tomorrow's lesson 28 November - David Cameron receives Leveson report ahead of official publication on Thursday. Today's news, tomorrow's lesson - 28 November The publication of Lord Leveson’s report tomorrow on improving regulation of newspapers and journalism is already big news. Tasked with investigating the inner workings of Britain’s press by David Cameron when the phone-hacking scandal was at its peak in June 2011, Lord Leveson spent the month that followed publicly picking over every last detail of relationships that exist both formally and informally between journalists, politicians and the police. Leveson – and the revelations that he uncovered while interviewing everyone from the Prime Minister to Hugh Grant – became almost as sensational as the original phone hacking revelations.

The inquiry shone a light on any number of associations, not least those between Mr Cameron, senior executives at Rupert Murdoch’s News International such as Rebekah Brooks and former No 10 spin doctor, Andy Coulson, a previous editor.

The prime minister's dilemma over the Leveson report, which he will have the chance to read from midday today, could not be more obvious. The letter from 86 politicians, published in The Guardian and the Daily Telegraph today, brings David Cameron's problem into sharp focus. Though billed as a cross-party initiative, it is overwhelmingly Tory (signed by 76 Conservative MPs and peers) and argues passionately against any form of state involvement in press regulation.

It runs counter to a letter signed a couple of weeks ago by 40 Tories who urged statutory regulation. But the split within Cameron's own party is only one problem for him. So, as the Financial Times reports, it is possible that Cameron and Clegg will make separate statements about the matter in the Commons. That Last Chance Saloon solution is certainly not favoured by Clegg and the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, according to the FT writers.

There are several voices urging a non-statutory path in newspapers today. Powerful? Leveson Inquiry lesson plan.
