Easy answer to a stupid question

The stupid question was Will Brown Dump Charlie Whelan?[1]

For the easy answer read Rachel Sylvester. Spoiler: it's "no".

Perhaps a very stupid question from me. Given the real dislike both Martin Bright and Nick Cohen have for Charlie Whelan, why didn't they write the story first? Both seem to wonder what Charlie Whelan does for Gordon Brown. The answer to that is, "Rather a lot, actually."

[1] Nick tweeted the link to that post, with the original title. Some kind soul (hem, hem) pointed out that Charlie Whelan works for Unite, not No 10, so hard to see how Brown could 'sack' him. Nick gracefully acknowledged that point.
