I am surprised that the US media got all these details so early in the investigation and I could not any references to this in the British Media about it yet. There is a concern in the UK that US officials are leaking more detailed information as reported in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/24/us-officials...

I was watching as it unfolded and the US media was a step ahead on reporting almost everything. Apparently the British Home Secretary was none too happy about it as you said (I'm guessing the UK shares details as they happen with their US counterparts who were then leaking to the press).

To be fair, it's kinda common knowledge the US intelligence community leaks. Nearly all the intelligence leaks I can think of came out of the US.

My new favourite one being the US President is accused of leaking Isreali intel to the Russians. :D
