I'm profoundly suspicious about all this. Where are Blair's famous political instincts? Why is the Government sticking to the 'No new evidence therefore no need to change our minds' line? Surely this can't just be the usual New Labour arrogance and refusal to accept criticism or dissent?
Why doesn't he sell Day and Wratten down the river? What has he to gain by this kind of response?
How can Ingram seriously go on camera to defend the expertise of the 'Air Marshals' and their conclusion above the conclusions reached by every other inquest or inquiry so far?
Is this HofL finding really such a victory? Will it make any difference to what the MoD eventually concludes?
Could it be that they will say "We're looking at it again" and then formally announce that 'everything stands' on a day when some major NHS story ensures that this will be buried and will attract no press attention?
