Hacking story – Day Nine. I’m sorry but Andy Coulson is toast.

Alastair Campbell says there is no Alastair Campbell Golden Rule about the central character being toast if a story goes on for x days. “The rule is that there is no rule” he writes.

The Andy Coulson phone hacking story started (again) on September 1st. So, we’re now into Day Nine and the story has been given whole new legs today by a Guardian story with lurid details from a new witness.

I’m sorry but Coulson just can’t survive this. Just read the Guardian story and see what you think at the end of it.

The other golden rule of spin doctoring, which probably doesn’t exist also, is that you have to go when you become the story. Well, come on….

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk
