Taking responsibility

I do not know what to make yet of the arrest of Damian Green & the searching by counter terrorist police of offices at the House of Commons.

My first reaction was that this feels like a habeas corpus moment


Otherwise, I am just stunned, like many others, including David Cameron, to judge by how he sounded

I am also struck by how far we have come from Crichel Down, when both the Prime Minister & the Home Secretary seem to think it a complete defence to say: Nothing to do with me, guv. I didn’t even know about it
