Derek Draper will not emerge from the events of this weekend mired in glory, far from it.
Iain Dale has highlighted that Draper has been far from honest about the role that Damian McBride had played in their online ventures and Draper failed to grasp the gravity of the situation when he first wrote about it himself yesterday.
His post on Labourlist today appeared to echo the sentiments of Damian McBride from yesterday evening in terms of principally being angry that the emails ever reached the public domain, rather than being contrite for the fact they were written in the first place.
The single saving grace is that Draper finally managed to utter the word sorry, saying he was "especially sorry to Nadine Dorries, George and Frances Osborne and David and Samantha Cameron".
Will Gordon Brown follow suit?
