Re PM Wasn’t Told About Vance, Telford Says (May 8): The role of an adviser should include telling one’s boss unpleasant truths. If Katie Telford could not do that, she should not be in the position she holds.

The fact that a political aide was called to testify at all is shameful confirmation for me that the principle of ministerial responsibility is well and truly dead.
