Rebekah Brooks returns to News UK on first day as CEO

Rebekah Brooks has returned to work at News UK as chief executive this morning.

Ms Brooks was appointed as CEO of News UK last week and returns to the Rupert Murdoch-controlled News Corp a year after she was cleared of any wrong-doing in the phone hacking scandal.

Her appointment isn't without its critics, however.

Shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant, whose phone was one of those hacked by those working at the now defunct News of the World said:

Rupert Murdoch has just stuck two fingers up to the British public and the thousands of people whose phones were hacked by News International.

Hundreds of ordinary journalists lost their jobs when Mr Murdoch closed the News Of The World, but it seems Rebekah Brooks is to get very special treatment.
