... to this blog I wrote in September.
Andy Coulson's resignation was, in the event, a long time coming - but in the intervening months I haven't met a single person in politics (on either side of the chamber) or journalism who didn't think it was inevitable.
But as I wrote back then, when Andy Coulson goes - as he finally has done today - that's far from the end of things:
"It would be a pity if the News of the World phone-hacking scandal reduced itself to a hunt for Andy Coulson's scalp.
That's not to say Mr Coulson doesn't have many questions to answer - he does. But so does News Corp's management, the Metropolitan Police and the Press Complaints Commission.
And, arguably, their (selective) inaction in the face of criminal activity is at least as reprehensible as anything Mr Coulson is alleged to have done."
I won't repeat the lengthy extracts of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee's report here. But, honest, they're worth another look.
