Tony Blair offered to act as an "unofficial adviser" and allegedly told Rebekah Brooks to "tough up" when she sought his guidance at the height of the
phone- hacking crisis at the News of the World, prosecutors have told the Old Bailey. The former prime minister, who also allegedly advised taking sleeping pills, had an hour-long conversation with
Brooks in July 2011.
