The UK's top civil servant has denied a 'chatty rat' inquiry into government leaking has been de-prioritised - despite the probe lasting more than five months - but admitted the culprit may never be found
Last week, in leaked emails seen by the Daily Mail, it emerged Lord Brownlow claimed to have paid £58,000 to the Conservative Party to"cover payments the party has already made on behalf of the soon to be formed 'Downing Street Trust'".
It led to further questions about how Mr Johnson was funding his overhaul of the flat above 11 Downing Street. The prime minister is now said to have stumped up the cost of"wider refurbishment" beyond basic works himself.Top mandarin tried to generate as little news as possible - and nearly succeededIt is not every day we see the government's top civil servant hauled to answer questions before MPs and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case did his best to ensure his appearance generated as little news as possible. He was almost successful.
It was a stark admission, but the lobbying scandal has moved well beyond Greensill and Cameron and many had hoped for more revelations about the current government, particularly Dominic Cummings' explosive blog post.
