OK here is what is going on
the guy has used this as a giant advertising campaign for his book just out in time for christmas. he is guilty of misusing his position and is saying that he isnt but is resigning because he is honerable.
The media is saying he resigned because he has lost support because he insulted cabimet members in his book. This means that as soon as the cabinet forgive him he can return to a senior position and he will have bypassed the misuse of position issue. Bottom line NO real change on a permenent basis but he has sold a lot more books. Cllr
