Anyone know how the Telegraph "acquired" the Ball/Brown Scrawls?

[DTCwordfan]

Nothing in the DT about how they got access to what I would have considered as highly confidential internal documents. Anybody know how they did it or who leaked them?

Doesn't show up the Labour Party in a very good light. But then are we really surprised?

Just further demonstrates how despotic and controlling the "Broon" was/is......

It is being reported that there is civil war within the Labour Party and that the papers being made public are a result of that.

10 more years of the Coalition - yeah!

Bet there will be an "enquiry" from OberLieutenantGruppenFuehrer Balls to find out who made the leak - or is it Ed M driving this so as to have am almost communist-like purge of the party to reposition it way to the left, where he would like them to be.

From the Grauniad

// The source speculated that Balls may have leaked the documents himself. "This has the feel of desk-clearing about it. Ed Miliband is struggling a bit, Ed Balls must be eyeing up the Labour leadership. So why not get all this out on his terms so this stuff is not released at a more difficult moment?"

Gove and other senior Tories have a different view. They believe that a former member – or members – of the Brown circle leaked the papers to damage Balls at the moment that he is emerging as a pivotal figure in the Labour party. //

Somebody in the department has to type, photocopy and file these documents. Maybe its a civil servant trying to set the record straight which you won't find in any of the memoirs.

Makes sense Gromit - if you are right rov, then the scalpels will be out!
