While I was pulling that last post together, this broke, in the Mail of all places. Whether or not she was the leaker in this earlier case, Braverman must be on the way out (again).

Suella Braverman was embroiled in probe over leak that raised 'concerns' at MI5

* Home Secretary was included in an investigation this year by a little-known unit
* The leak related to a story about the Government's plan to apply for an injunction
* The story said that it was the Attorney General who was seeking the injunction
* It is understood leak about her plans caused 'concern' to the Security Service


Suella Braverman was probed by Government officials as part of an inquiry into the leak of a sensitive story involving Britain's security services, the Daily Mail can reveal today.

The Home Secretary was included in an investigation this year by a little-known unit within the Cabinet Office that handles leak inquiries.

The leak related to a story about the Government's plan to apply for an injunction against the BBC to stop it from identifying a spy who was accused of using his position to terrorise his former partner.
...
The Mail understands that the investigation ultimately found no 'conclusive evidence' of who the leaker was. A Whitehall source said: 'They did not find conclusive evidence of who the leaker was. There was a wide field of potential leakers.' The source added: 'If there had been solid knowledge of who was responsible, the matter wouldn't have been left to rest there.'
