"Any suggestion that the Foreign Secretary's relationship with Chris Myers is anything other than a purely professional one is wholly inaccurate and unfounded," the statement read.

I am not saying that is right or wrong, but stories like that sell papers which is what they are there to do.

This is one of the dangers of the blogosphere.
It is a story that would never have been reported by the print or broadcast media a decade ago.

Ironically, it appears he was trying to save the party money by sharing a room, like many of us have done with work colleagues while away on business.
Sadly it is a reflection of modern Westminster politics - 90% rumour and 10% substance.
why does one have to resign and not both or neither?

the apology, the misunderstanding, the resignation. all seem to be the answer to any kind of problem.
not just lift it!
