Dorries Pursues Legal Action
A Conservative MP who was the target of a scurrilous Labour smear campaign has announced she is taking legal action against the culprit.
Nadine Dorries, MP for Mid-Bedfordshire, was mentioned in malicious emails composed by former Number 10 spin doctor Damian McBride.
McBride - nicknamed McPoison by the tabloid press - sent the emails to fellow Labour sympathiser Derek Draper as material for a new pro-Labour website he was planning.
Ms Dorries, a former nurse and political blogger, managed to secure a personal apology for McBride's actions from his former boss, Gordon Brown, at PMQs on Wednesday.
McBride's emails also included malicious allegations about recently bereaved Conservative Leader David Cameron and his Shadow Chancellor George Osborne.
Details of the smear campaign emerged when leading political blogger Guido Fawkes published excerpts.
