At this point the entire Iranian leadership is just three Mossad agents who don’t know about each other, so they keep on playing the game. (Joke from Israel just now)

I love operation names. The US / Israeli effort against Iran is called ‘Epic Fury’ (US) and ‘Lion's Roar’ (Israel). If Brits were involved, next name off our list would probably be 'Op. Godalming.'

At the end of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Soviet mole Bill Hader offered his reasons for crossing the ideological Iron Curtain; “it was an aesthetic judgement as much as anything…partly moral”.

And I’m sorry, I know a million people - mostly long in the tooth Tory door knockers, as I once was - have already said this. But the *only* pleasure to take from the election victory of this dreadful party, and the methods by which that victory was achieved, is this: Labour have

Police officers are taught that an informant’s identity is sacrosanct. This is an iron law: detectives would rather collapse a court case than reveal the identity of a confidential source. This means...

A custody document passed to Mandelson’s solicitors identified person alleging flight risk. He's repped by Mischon de Reya. Elite lawyers. If the Met can make basic errors at this level? How’s that hollowing out of CID and allowing direct entry detectives thing working out?

I'm so, so sorry.
BREAKING: Lindsay Hoyle admits he told cops Peter Mandelson was a flight risk and planning to flee to the British Virgin Islands. “I would like to confirm that I felt it was relevant to pass this on to the Met police in good faith as is my duty.”

My old detective superintendent, on the Met’s anti-corruption command, held old-school views on police misconduct. “Occasionally, you need to nail the crow to the barn door,” he said.
