The mole speaks

Nothing surprising in Christopher Galley’s statement just now, but it does support the general idea that Damian Green hasn’t acted in a particularly improper way, and that the police response was disproportionate to the supposed offence.  Here are the key quotes:

“If ever there was a case of don’t shoot the messenger, this is surely it…

…Most would describe it as embarrassment material and material that is part of the public interest. It’s really not national security, terrorism, financial jeopardy, loss-gain to others.  Nothing remotely like that.”As I see it, the key questions that need answering are still about who in Parliament knew what, and when.
