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.
