Damian "McPoison" McBride, a special adviser or attack-dog to Gordon Brown at No 10 resigns after causing a huge furore over proposals to leak defamatory information about certain Tory MPs and wives via a website called Red Rag, run by ex-lobbyist Derek Draper. The right-wing. anti-politician blogger Paul Staines - nom-de-blog "Guido Fawkes" - gets wind of it and publishes the whole story. McBride has to go, having set off such a box of squibs. Brown is badly burnt by it.
