".@Steven_Swinford and @Geri_E_L_Scott are (as ever) on the money. No10 knew about Doyle's campaigning for paedophile Morton several weeks before proceeding with his peerage. This is because we put it on the front page of the Sunday Times. Yet Downing St also independently "investigated" their relationship some time prior to our first story - at which point Doyle's nomination had cleared vetting and was awaiting final confirmation. This exercise took place because PM's new co-chief of staff Jill Cuthbertson and her predecessor Morgan McSweeney were approached by figures in the party. These"
