Alastair Campbell got all high and mighty with Toby Young yesterday:
@toadmeister would you care to withdraw your libellous tweet claiming I leaked my Leveson statement, and apologise?

@campbellclaret Man of your exp must have known that if you circulated your statement to various journos beforehand it wld end up in press

@campbellclaret Seems like your definition of "leak" is narrower than mine — or, indeed, most people's

Campbell should not be so cocky about this, he is as he was forced to admit to Leveson, the original source of the leak if not the direct leaker to Guido. Given his job in government was effectively Leaker-in-Chief some may doubt his protestations. He should listen to himself on “The Case for Self-Doubt in Creativity” rather than be so sure…
