Labour MP Tom Watson told Sky News it was "a victory for decent people up and down the land, and I say good riddance to the News of the World".
And the collective sigh of relief from MPs tired of being held by the short and curlies by NotW was heard the world over.

Don't think they can do a Sunday Sun— that's owned by the Newcastle Chronicle & Journal.
I'm ashamed to admit I'm largely responsible for the look of their first ever website, which was an horrific atrocity.

Further government comment:
'But Justice Secretary Ken Clarke said: "All they're going to do is rebrand it" and former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who alleged his phone was hacked, thought the decision was simply a gimmick.'
That sad part is, they're both right.

Its a load of bollocks. It'll be the Sun on Sunday and they'll take a small financial hit then its business as usual.
