The Evening Standard reports this morning that:
“Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell appeared unlikely to launch a probe after one of the ministers linked to the affair, Tom Watson, made a statement through solicitors stating categorically he knew nothing about it.
Whitehall experts suggested to the Evening Standard that Mr Watson’s denial meant Sir Gus would reject a Conservative call for a formal investigation into who knew what about plans hatched by No10 aide Damian McBride to smear senior Tories via anonymous internet attacks.”
