So Big Gus O’Donnel admits to Caroline Flint that “serious allegations were fully investigated at the time” over the crass comments released  from a DCLG source over Jenny Watson.

I have been for a while trying to unearth more details using Freedom of Information requests. There have been plenty of rumours within Eland House about Special Advisers (Nick Sheridan-Westlake and Giles Kenningham) getting too big for their boots, interfering in areas that they should not and releasing a continuous stream of invective, juvenile and puerile nonsense to the press. Uncle Eric and co. have gone out of their way to be as unhelpful as possible -so much for transparency eh?

The word on the (Victoria) Street is that one of the SpAds is moving on soon. Nick has is the most high profile SpAd and supposedly the bright one. Giles on the other hand has lovely hair. He was also previously respected for his career in media but there hasn’t been much evidence of him using these skills recently, though he still commands the higher salary – but don’t tell Nick!
