As someone who has been both a journalist and a press officer, please take my word for it: this story began with that 17 December press release. It is most likely that the Lib Dem media team had the complainant, Robert Latimer, already lined up for any newspaper that contacted them for follow-up information. That is exactly how this works, and most especially that’s how it works at times of year when press officers know papers are short of content and will gratefully received whatever they’re given.
