Editor’s blog Tuesday 10 August 2010: Sir Gus O'Donnell heads for the exit

Channel 4 News has the story that Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell is heading for the exit.

The story reports that he had intended to quit directly after the election, but stayed on to facilitiate the handover of power to the Coalition Government.

That is a man who knows the burial location of many a corpse, metaphorically speaking. His book should be genuinely worth reading, if he chooses to write one.
