MoD 'closing in on Fox letter leak culprit'
It has been a busy 24 hours for the Defence Secretary Liam Fox.
After attending the Royal British Legion event in Birmingham last night - and answering some of my questions as he went in - he returned to London.
Dr Fox had a meeting with defence chiefs at the Defence Strategy Group this morning.
He then rushed back to a meeting for a fringe event in Birmingham this lunchtime.
I'm told the Ministry of Defence is now pretty certain they now know who leaked Dr Fox's letter to Prime Minister David Cameron last week.
I'm Michael Crick, and I'm Newsnight's political editor. My guiding rule is that in any story there's usually something the politicians would prefer the world not to know. My job is to find that out. Follow me on

Nowhere more than in matters political. Leaks belong.

Going to be a bit of a shock when they announce that it was none other than .... Dr. Fox :-)

Any chance we may know by whom?
If only to try and place the degree of certainty, currently in 'little bit pregnant' territory for value, in some context as actual news worth paying heed to.
