It's absolutely, but characteristically, pathetic that Dacre is heading for the hills before the reality of the disastrous, impoverishing, enfeebling Brexit he did more than anyone to deliver become undeniable. Also, I'm going to have to rewrite a couple of chapters of my book.

News is breaking that Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, is going to resign this year.
Paul Dacre is the worst that Britain has to offer. British society will gain more from the day of his resignation than it ever did from his career.
Good riddance. https://t.co/b4bklIOwxT pic.twitter.com/q7HlGbd92V

I may not have shared Paul Dacre's politics, in fact I hated him and his newspaper, but watching people who've never worked in journalism celebrating his retirement and taking the opportunity to call him a cunt? It's great and to be applauded because they're absolutely right
