This whole “Ah yes the press knew but they had to source it carefully” or “they only just received the leaked material” would be a lot more convincing if there wasn’t a massive revolving door between the press and the top of the Tory party, and if everyone from the top of the Tory party wasn’t either directly related to, or related to by marriage, the editor of one or more papers, magazines or websites. I call bullshit that the press didn’t know and bullshit they wouldn’t have been able to properly source a story if they actually wanted to.
