Damian McBride resigns

His ungracious resignation statement is here.

Curiously he blames Guido for putting these stories into the public domain, and that he and Derek Draper never would have done so.

Thing is, though, no one believes that, partly because some of these stories did get out, before Guido revealed McBride´s fingerprints all over them.

What you can be certain of though, is that the News of the World has some damming stuff to run with tomorrow or else he would not have gone.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Guido has this, this and this, Iain Dale has this, this and this.

The BBC has this.
