The prime minister's former communications director, Andy Coulson, and six former News of the World employees are appearing at Westminster magistrates' court to face phone-hacking charges on Thursday morning.
The seven former News of the World journalists, plus the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, are due to appear at the court in central London at 10am on Thursday morning.
They are the first people to appear in court in connection with phone hacking at the News of the World since Scotland Yard reopened its investigation in January 2011.
Coulson and Mulcaire will be appearing in court alongside Stuart Kuttner, former managing editor of the News of the World, Ian Edmondson, former assistant editor (news), Greg Miskiw, a former news editor, Neville Thurlbeck, former chief reporter, and James Weatherup, former assistant news editor.

I only tried it one night out of curiosity. Honest.
