Gord is a bit miffed during an interview with Adam Boulton from Sky news yesterday.
Well actually he got a bit more than miffed-Mr Brown was clearly angry at being repeatedly challenged over his leadership when he wanted to talk about policy. On two occasions, he got up to leave when the interviews were over but while the cameras were still rolling.
The most heated clash was with Sky News. Mr Brown’s impatience was clear as he was questioned over his refusal to confirm whether he would take part in a television debate with other party leaders in the run-up to the election. Downing Street believes that Sky News has become “obsessed” with the issue.
Mr Brown is expected to agree to take part in a three-way debate with David Cameron and Nick Clegg, but the commitment was not going to be announced this week after a leak during the summer.
But pressed by Adam Boulton, the Sky News political editor, Mr Brown said: “You are sounding a bit like a political propagandist yourself.”
He went on to accuse the journalist of being “obsessed” with the Labour leadership, adding: “You have not given me the chance to talk about the economy.”
Asked about a comment from Lord Mandelson that the public could not see through a “filter” to the Prime Minister’s real character, Mr Brown snapped: “He was probably talking about the media.”
Labour last night seized on a daily poll which showed that the Conservative lead had been cut and was now just seven points.
Poor old Gord, made a cock up of the economy, is about as popular as herpes, and really doesn’t like to be questioned about leadership.
You can see the interview here. The good bit is toward the end.
