Gavin Williamson insists that he was not responsible for the Huawei leak, May insists that he was and has sacked him.
Now, aside from Williamson, there is at least one other party who knows for sure if Williamson is the leaker; namely the Daily Telegraph which broke the news of the Huawei deal, based on information received from the leaker.
Today's headline in the paper reads:
"You've got the wrong person".
Up until Williamson was sacked, the Telegraph had an "ethical" duty to protect their source. Now that he has been sacked, and the fact that he continues to insist that he is innocent, that "ethical" duty only stands if he wasn't the leaker.
In the event that he is the leaker, and that he denies it, the Telegraph has a duty to out him as a bare faced liar......if he is the leaker.
I note that they have not outed him!
