The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson has been doing some fine work on his Newsblog over the past 24 hours. I particularly like this little insight into his work:
I’ve often interviewed resigning ministers, but this was amongst the bizarrest. When I was called to be told the news, I was naked in bed in a Westminster hotel hoping to get at least an hour’s sleep, having stayed up all night covering the local elections. The interesting discovery I’ve made is that you can go from being in bed to attending a resignation statement in exactly seven minutes.
Mind you, not sure I needed the nudity image.

Well, I wonder if his first draft had even more detail, and that was it edited

Oh, thanks. There's another image I didn't need…
