One of Gordon Brown's senior officials has resigned after sending e-mails which reportedly discussed smearing senior Conservatives.
The e-mails were originally sent to former government spin doctor Derek Draper, who runs a pro-Labour blog.
He spoke to the BBC after news broke that Damain McBride, the prime minister's former political press officer, had resigned.
Mr Draper said it was a high price to pay for sending a "silly e-mail to a mate"
