So wait, it's not like that hasn't been reported? Gag TB?
TB would love to be a fly on the wall during the Trafigura/Carter-Ruck conference call that will undoubtedly be taking place this morning. The plan to keep the naughty little secrets that Carter-Ruck are no doubt being paid all sorts of millions to keep under wraps, has backfire spectacularly. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to try gag a British newspaper from covering Parliament should have watched that great episode of State of Play with Bill Nighy as the pesky newspaper editor.
Nothing like a handful of bloggers short of stories on a Monday night to put a spanner in the works though. Kudos to Guido
, Alex Massie
, Next Left
, Tory Politico
and Political Scrapbook
as well as thousands of the twitterati for firing this one up.

Interesting reading, there is a link to the Barclays saga too.
Is there a problem with this comment I have been unable to send this content.
Carter-Rucked?
