Tories Court Media

[Stephen Maher] said that he's heard that 'vicious, scandalous rumours' are being spread about him, and he believes the source is a Tory staffer. Mr. Maher said he doesn't think the rumours, which he declined to elaborate on, only saying they were in reference to his 'personal conduct,' have attained wide currency, though he was obviously rattled by them.

I'd make a wager on the staffer in question but, given the nature of the Tory beast, I suppose it could almost be any of them.
