Gordon throws a paddy

Mail Online

I can't wait for video of this to turn up - far more entertaining than his faux smile on youtube.

He is quite clearly losing his grip; thank God.

Yes but we dont want him to loose it to early or they may have a leadership election.

They cannot risk a 2nd unelected PM, and they know it.

It is the Mail so not in any way believable.

But it would be nice were it true.

.

Too many reporters named for it not to have happened,now the Mail might have exagerated his reactions but I see no way the events did not take place

Lucy Manning sounds on the ball though. Nice comeback.

Mr Brown snapped: 'I shall be watching your broadcast very closely.'

Ms Manning responded light-heartedly: 'Good. That's one more viewer.'

I don't know, they could stick Milliband in.

What 'stick him in the stocks?' - at least they'd generate some income from that...

The veracity of the story is nothing to do with it being in the Mail. Or, it could be, if you have no political judgement and run with the pack of braying Mail-haters. The situation described in the Mail article regarding Brown's temper and state of mind is commonplace reporting, in many newspapers.

A Labour MP reports that El Gordo breaks up to three mobiles a week hurling them at the wall or floor.


Linked article from the one in Puggit's OP, on Gordon Brown the political dead man walking:

Is it really possible that things are so bad that Peter Mandelson shines out as a beacon of smooth competence amid the general fumbling? It is.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1176706/...

To think that these men hate each other with a vengeance. There must be somethnig seriously wrong with the PM for Mandy to 'put an arm round him' and establish a second bunker in Downing Street. The Clown must be very close to crumbling.

Just as I was feeling all down at the lack of "government in crisis" articles in the Times (lazy buggers.....this is not the time for a bank holiday rest guys!), PH came to my rescue with this gem.

Love it.

Brown's reactions are just like the school bully who suddenly realises that the kids aren't scared of him anymore. He has no other way of controlling people. Wonderful.

Yes, Dukey, Winky has done everything right, the economy is brilliant, and everyone loves him. Any other opinion is clearly vindictiveness or madness.

Are you Charlie Whelan?

I find it amazing that this government have preached so much about fairness and anti bullying in the workplace, and yet Brown gets away with seemingly violent tantrums and bullying - if it were any other workplace, this behaviour would not be tolerated, and the instigator dragged before a tribunal at the very least!

Not to mention sexual harrassment in the time leading up to (get the thought bleach ready) Presclott slipping his secretary a workplace chipolata

I wasn't saying that the one eyed, mouth breathing, Scottish stroke victim was anything less than pure excrement.
But the Daily Mail is too.
Just because they don't like each other doesn't make either one of them less of an abomination.
