DAVID Cameron’s pledge to be more open about his dealings with media moguls was shattered yesterday.
The Prime Minister is facing mounting demands to come clean about a dinner he had with News International chief Rebekah Brooks over Christmas.

Although the PM promised “greater transparency”, his spokeswoman refused to say whether the BSkyB bid was discussed at the dinner, and added: “It was a private engagement.”
