Back in 2006, when his blog was still quite new, Paul Staines forgot he had been invited to a lobby lunch by a journalist at Westminster. He was renovating his house when he got the call. "Paul, where are you? The first course is coming any minute." The blogger rushed over to Westminster, walked into the room, "and there's an intake of breath from the old guard". He had paint in his hair, was wearing flip-flops, shorts and an Ireland rugby shirt, "and the whole room went, what the fuck's that?" It's an anecdote that helpfully burnishes a fond self-image – that of a scrappy upstart bursting into the closed and cosy world of Westminster journalism, ruffling feathers. Which was exactly what he wanted his blog to do, and the reason why he called it Guido Fawkes.
