I think he's been had here; either someone fed his sources B.S. or his sources fed him B.S.
His tweet last night stating it was the "final update" seems to suggest he's trying to back away from actually following up with any proof and he won't be adding any reporting to this.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
