Is this man fit for office?

The question stands as the in-tray into the MoJ grows more incredulous each day.

I have information that letters sent to him personally, in his capacity as a Minister, are not being attended to.

Is this the mandarins relieving his work-load, or is the office so tenuous that the legacy of the past Governments deceit is now weighing too heavy on an under-financed department?

One thing is certain, the openness that David Cameron promised from the opposition's bench has not materialised. There is a firm opinion that the in house bureaucrats do Justice no service.

Jonathan Djanogly: The justice minister, the sleuths and the 'conspiracy' to oust him

Jonathan Djanogly: The justice minister, the sleuths and the 'conspiracy' to oust him
Mr Djanogly, a multi-millionaire solicitor, employed the private detectives after facing accusations last July over his Parliamentary expenses claims.

Investigators employed by Mr Djanogly used subterfuge to trick several people, including the MP’s constituency agent, into discussing their concerns about the politician.

Their findings were set out in a private report sent to the Huntingdon MP in July 2009 which concluded that aides in his local party believed he was a poor politician and had lied over his expenses claims, through which he paid more than £13,000 for a cleaner who also acted as his children’s au pair.


The disclosure will lead to serious questions over Mr Djanogly’s judgment and
ongoing tenure as a minister in the Justice Department. He was appointed by
David Cameron in May.

The Information Commissioner, which is overseen by Mr Djanogly’s department,
has raised concerns over the activities of firms similar to that employed by the minister.
