Scandal at 10 Downing Street

Leaked emails about a political gossip site has the Labour party running for cover

Nobody does political scandal quite like the Brits. For several days now, Gordon Brown’s government has been savaged in the press after the leak of some damaging emails between two of his top advisers. It seems that Number 10 had a plan to set up a website called the Red Rag and plant gossip and rumours about senior Tories, including David Cameron. There’s already been one resignation and Brown’s Labour party colleagues are running for cover.
