Oncoming obit...

"Downing Street has apologised for e-mails sent by one of Gordon Brown's senior officials which reportedly discussed smearing top Conservatives."

Sounds as if the infamous New Labour spin-cycle subterfuge centrifuge is about to throw out two more clots: Derek Draper and Damian McBride are in the thick of it. More details and the source of the story from Guido at Order-Order:

Mc Bride won't be the only casualty.
