Trouble 't mill for Jack Straw

I blogged about Jack Straw's problems and that "I just heard Channel 4 News report that Jack Straw was told that there were concerns about Sadiq Khan visiting a terrorist suspect in jail but not that any conversations were being bugged. I think this story has further to run... When the BBC start to cover this news, I wonder how they will be asked to spin it?"

Now Sky news are reporting that "Sky sources have revealed Jack Straw was told about press interest in meetings between a Labour MP and a terrorist suspect two months ago. Yesterday the Justice Secretary said he did not know of allegations the meetings had been bugged, until last weekend. Last night, the Ministry of Justice said officials, but not ministers, knew the pair's conversations had been intercepted.
"Ministry of Justice officials became aware in December of issues concerning visits to Woodhill Prison by Sadiq Khan MP," a spokesperson said...Shadow home secretary David Davis says he wrote to the Prime Minister about the allegations in December but Downing Street denies receiving the letter."


This is all unravelling for Jack Straw and maybe Gordon Brown isn't it? What further revelations are on the way?
