"Impunity" Jack has put his foot in his mouth AGAIN with a vehement, virulent and accidental attack on Tony Blair's wife. Straw blasted former ambassador Meyer's description of John Major being briefed in his briefs as "preposterous", without realising that exactly the same story had appeared in Cherie's book "The Goldfish Bowl", with Meyer as the source!

"The attacks on Meyer risked backfiring last night after Jack Straw dismissed Meyer's description of how he briefed a half-dressed John Major in his bedroom as 'preposterous and demeaning'.

Cherie Blair's recent book The Goldfish Bowl recounts similar incidents, describing Major as sitting on the end of the bed 'in a towelling dressing robe'. Her source? Meyer."
