Sturgeon apologises
Nicola Sturgeon has quite rightly given a mea culpa for her letter about supporting a benefit fraudster facing sentencing.
It quite rightly represents a very serious error of judgement by her, which she duly acknowledged.
She also, quite rightly, acknowledged that she didn't have an obligation to write in the terms she did (as was first suggested on her behalf), and that in fact her responsibility as much less and should have been more considered.
She will survive, for the simple reason of being open and honest in her statement, even if it was not perhaps as complete as it should have been.
Her boss, Alex Salmond, comes out of this smelly less sweetly as a result of his bluster and bullying response to the initial inquiries.
