Whistleblower: 'I feel vindicated'
The Home Office whistleblower whose allegations about the handling of east European immigration triggered the row said he felt vindicated by Beverley Hughes's resignation.
Arriving at a disciplinary hearing with Home Office officials in Sheffield, Steve Moxon said the resignation had taken him by complete surprise.
He said: "I can't understand why she went to all the trouble of defending herself only to resign.
"I need to take stock and deal with this when it all calms down.
"What I said was just the tip of the iceberg and she is responsible because she has been at best incompetent.
"I have had to be careful how I have gone about this. I have not taken any money from any source.
"I feel vindicated but I wonder who is going to take the job now. You talk of a poisoned chalice but this is more like a tanker full of cyanide.
"It was worth putting my job on the line. I don't have a very well paid job and the pressure was intolerable."
