This is not an apology.
TB has been out of the loop for a few hours but don't for one second think Gordon has apologised. The BBC
is spinning
that writing to the Civil Service to criticise the rule book that Labour wrote is good enough. Why would someone not get fired already for smearing opponents, and seeing as McBride broke every Special Advisor rule, will the Labour Party be refunding the taxpayers the huge salary that McBride was paid? The personal letters to all those smeared is a start but why can Brown never just say sorry.Why won't he go in front of the cameras?
TB will tell you why - because he knew exactly what was going on.

Spot on. Gordon is a control freak and we are expected to believe he knew nothing. Don't think we have heard the last of this story.
As Nadine said, the Civil Service rulebook isn't the issue. It's very clear in prohibiting McBride's behaviour (see here: https://benjamin-gray.com/2009/04/the-code-doesnt-need-changing.html)
