The lists are out. We now know everyone who has been to Chequers since the election, and separately, every media figure the prime minister has met in that time.

Of interest:

• James Murdoch has stayed at Chequers recently, and Rebekah Brooks stayed twice last year. (Incidentally, so has the Qatari prime minister – the only foreign dignitary to do so.)
• We know that Cameron met Brooks over Christmas socially, but apparently there was another meeting in December – although we are not given details of where or when.
• Rupert Murdoch was the first media figure to talk to Cameron after the election – but we already knew that.
• Six out of Cameron’s first ten media meetings after winning the election were with people News International.

Of interest, but not mentioned in these lists: Andy Coulson stayed at Chequers in March, two months after quitting Number 10.
