Correction: UK did not pass info on Crotch Bomber to U.S.

During a briefing to journalists today, the Prime Minister’s spokesman said: “There is no suggestion the UK passed intelligence to the US that they did not act on.”

But Sky’s political correspondent Joey Jones said it had been an “awful” briefing.

“He tried to clear things up but only succeeded in muddying the waters still further,” Jones said.

“After he read Downing Street’s statement, the spokesman said there would be no further comment on intelligence issues.
