Seemingly, to cause Jacqui Smith embarrassment is now an arrestable offence...

And so it begins:

Damien Green acquired and in the public interest leaked the following info to the press:

The revelation in November 2007 that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith was aware the Security Industry Authority had granted licences to 5,000 illegal workers but did not think the Home Office's official explanation was "good enough" for the press office or ministers to use;

The fact that an illegal immigrant had been employed as a cleaner in the House of Commons, which emerged in February this year;

A whips' list of potential Labour rebels who might vote against the Government over plans to increase the pre-charge terror detention limit to 42 days in a crucial Commons vote:

A letter from Ms Smith to Prime Minister Gordon Brown warning that the recession could lead to a rise in violent crime and burglaries......

Woe betide the MP who'll tell us the truth; epecially at the expense of this Home Secretary and her Metropolitan Police Force.

Sinister stuff.
