Hoon hits out over Cabinet leaks
 Geoff Hoon said cabinet confidentiality should not be breached |
Chief whip Geoff Hoon has slapped down Cabinet colleagues who anonymously brief journalists about Gordon Brown.
It was "quite wrong" if ministers were behind stories emerging from supposedly confidential Cabinet meetings, he said.
He also told the BBC's Straight Talk he did not believe there was a Blairite plot to depose Mr Brown.
And he said the PM's much vaunted "vision" was just "shorthand" for a "range of measures that the government believes are necessary".http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7625768.stm
