Leveson hits the panic button over Caseby statement

Panic stations at the Leveson inquiry this afternoon after it inadvertently invaded the family privacy of a well-known politician. It published an unredacted version of a statement from the Sun managing editor, Richard Caseby, which contained highly sensitive information relating to a sensitive family matter. It is understood Caseby thought his witness statement would not be published, but the inquiry accidentally revealed all when it published his statement without the appropriate parts removed. It moved swiftly to take the statement down once alerted by a source close to Monkey (#publicserviceface). We shudder to think who'd be out of the traps first – the Daily Mail or Caseby's Sun newspaper with the headlines such as "Leveson reveals family secret". Thankfully for all concerned, disaster was averted.
