Jack Straw politically unscathed by son's alleged sale of cannabis

Jack Straw has emerged politically unscathed from the row over his son's alleged sale of cannabis to an undercover reporter, and his reputation may even have been enhanced according to a poll in today's Daily Telegraph.

More than two thirds, 69 per cent, said he was doing a good job as Home Secretary and 43 per cent said he had behaved "very well" over the accusation about his son.
