On Paul Goldsmith's letter, I think a cabinet minister is entitled to draft letters using language he is comfortable with, and must not be dictated to by state servants. I suspect those servants already knew of Goldsmith's likely reaction when they drafted the letter they expected him to sign. The heads that should roll are those of the state servants who prattled to the press.
