Texts between the PM and the then-News International chief Rebekah Brooks given to the Leveson Inquiry have been published by the Mail on Sunday.

After David Cameron's party conference speech in 2009, Mrs Brooks texted: "Brilliant speech. I cried twice. Will love 'working together'."

Downing Street confirmed the text messages were authentic and said the PM co-operated with the Leveson Inquiry.

Lord Justice Leveson is due to publish his report into the press this month.

Much of his inquiry was taken up with questions about links between politicians and Rupert Murdoch's News International media company.

In the other text, also sent in 2009, Mr Cameron refers to Mrs Brooks' racehorse trainer husband Charlie, wrote: "The horse CB put me on. Fast, unpredictable and hard to control but fun. DC."

The Labour MP Chris Bryant has told the BBC he has written to Lord Justice Leveson asking for all the emails and texts between Mr Cameron and Mrs Brooks to be published.

Mr Cameron and Mrs Brooks live near each other in Oxfordshire and Mr Brooks went to Eton with the prime minister.

Mrs Brooks caused amusement at the Leveson Inquiry earlier this year when she revealed that Mr Cameron signed some of his texts LOL, thinking it meant Lots Of Love, rather than Laugh Out Loud.

The two messages published by the Mail on Sunday were sent in October 2009, shortly after Mrs Brooks became chief executive of News International. They were among a number of texts and emails handed over to the Leveson Inquiry by Downing Street and Mrs Brooks.

'Keep your head up'

In her evidence to Lord Leveson, Mrs Brooks said Mr Cameron sent her a text when she resigned in July 2011, telling her to "keep your head up".

She quit after the phone-hacking scandal led to the News of the World's closure, a paper she was editing when voicemails of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's mobile phone were allegedly intercepted.

It also emerged that Mr Cameron rode a police horse, Raisa, which had been lent to Mrs Brooks by the Metropolitan Police.

Lord Leveson is thought to be poring over a large amount of correspondence between Mr Cameron, Mrs Brooks, and former Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson, who formerly edited the News of the World.

But the inquiry's lead counsel Robert Jay QC has said only "relevant" documents would be published.

Mr Bryant has challenged Mr Cameron to publish all the material himself, suggesting it was "too salacious and embarrassing".

A Downing Street spokesman said the position had not changed in respect of Mr Cameron publishing the correspondence.

Mrs Brooks and Mr Coulson are awaiting trial accused of conspiracy to access voicemails.

Mrs Brooks and her husband are also charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
