So who will investigate Government leaks

Damien Green has been arrested but not charged over alleged leaks involving immigration information.

I obviously don't know the facts behind this, but it does smack me of double-standards. If Damien Green is being investigated we should be asking the police to confirm that they are investigating every single one of the many deliberate leaks from Government to the media that allow them to bypass Parliamentary democracy.

The timing of this, coming just when the Conservative Party are on the climb again after the disastrous PBR, is really suspicious.

I hope Damien Green is cleared. I have met him a number of times and had the privilege of hosting him on a visit to Whittlesey when he was Shadow Education Secretary, he is a decent man.
