Damian McBride gave an interview today during which he admitted that he wrote the smear emails during his lunch hour. So, given that the content was political and he worked at No10, one can safely assume that they were written on the No10 computer, during his working day.

He also admitted that Gordon Brown asked him “if Government computers were used, who else knew?” And, ludicrously, he said, “one thing I can’t be responsible for is putting them in the public domain”.

He wrote, he clicked send down the line to a spin doctor who was about to use them on a sear website, who was responsible then?

The most interesting comment he made as far as I was concerned was,

“Derek was a mate”. Trouble is, I can’t tell you why.
