PM on PM

Congratulations to Alastair Campbell on his prepping, Gordon came over surprisingly well with Piers. Very low bar for expectations mind you..

UPDATE :  Piers Morgan wrote in the Mail before tonight’s broadcast that

Gordon Brown had finally agreed to sit down with me for an interview entirely about his personal life, with no political statements or policy debate permitted.  ’What’s your agenda, here?’ he smiled nervously, when he arrived at the studio.  ’To perform a miracle and make you sound human,’ I smiled back.

Guido agrees with Fraser, it was the miracle of television…

      Well – that was THE BEST Conservative Party Broadcast I’ve ever seen.

      All Hail, ITV, you’d never get that character assassination on the BBC, that’s why the Labour Party Media Corporation will be waving bye-bye later this year.

      RIP Gordon
      RIP BBC

          Will the Piers Morgam interview really make a difference. How many people will have watched it? Here in Wales it went out the same time as yesterdays rugby highlights, and given the drama of yesterday many will have watched that not Gordon. The Piers Morgan show, is it watched by Labours core vote? The curious Islington types will vote Lab anyway as will public servants. I can’t see how this one show even if it went well for him,have that great an impact on the election.

      Down with Brown! says:

      Got to disagree with you Guido. The whole thing was painfully scripted, Alastair Campbell had obviously told Piers what questions he could ask. Brown did alright whan talking about his family, but the rest of it was awful.

      Brown was on political manoeuvres just after his mentor’s John Smith death, he seemed to regard even the most friendly questions as potential ambushes, his comic timing was poor, he could barely hide his contempt for Tony Blair, there were obvious porkie pies – pig from a Middle Eastern Country, going jogging in parks, the messy flat anecdote. He surrendered his privacy to Piers Morgan, but didn’t talk about his political values or beliefs at all.

        In the interests of balance and fairness, when does David get his puff piece with a sympathetic best-friend presenter?

        • 169
          Mr Ned says:

          Cameron has turned him down, knowing full well that Piers Morgan represents everything that is wrong and hateful in a champagne socialist. Cameron would face an exceptionally hostile interview with all his political enemies lined up to take pot shots.

          • Templar says:

            Hence why I asked when he gets a puff piece with a sympathetic presenter. Maybe I should have added “Or with one that isn’t so openly and blatantly biased against him”.

            Everyone knows that as a rule, the media leans strongly to the left. I guess they only got away with obviously trying to sell Broon to the public because “It wasn’t party political”.

            My arse…

      sooner or later (probably later after all the attacks have been exhausted) both parties are going to have to come clean about exactly what they will do for the next 5 years, then the campaign begins proper

        I’d seen the preview on Sky the other morning – Mr & Mrs Fat-Cat Brown welling up (probably at the thought of Gordon losing his job in May/June) & just couldn’t bear to watch it live. Started watching it on ITV iplayer but the brownosing from Piers & the terrifying ‘childcatcher’ rictus grin on McSnot’s face beforehand was just too much. Don’t feel I’ve missed too much though….

        • 149

          The huge cheers at the end of the Interview were to me the biggest reveal. Brown put on a good show, but his body language was very uncomfortable for well over 50% of the interview. It was prepped, staged, and managed. Gordon isn’t a very good liar, which is why he never answers the questions in PMQT.

          The Blair interview showed him how to lie like a flat fish. That man has a special talent for bending veracity.

          The most telling soundbite was the “as soon as Gordon became PM things started going wrong, he was very unlucky” Good Generals have to be lucky, or at least seen to be lucky.

          Gordon only had 50 days to save the Planet. Can we have an update? JImmy?

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tory-mp-accused-over-links-to-nigerian-politician-1899055.html

    Mr Baldry denies interfering in the Ibori case. The MP, a barrister with a construction law practice, claims he was acting in his legal capacity and not a political one. “The letter that I wrote concerning Nigeria was entirely in my capacity as a barrister, properly instructed. I have taken no action whatsoever in this matter in my capacity as a Member of Parliament.” The letter was written on notepaper from his legal chambers. In the House of Commons register of members’ interests, Mr Baldry records that he was paid more than £37,000 by Sarosh Zaiwalla, a London-based solicitor who has acted for the Ibori family.

    In 2000, Mr Baldry apologised to the House of Commons after being criticised for recommending that Mr Zaiwalla be made a CBE without revealing that he had just borrowed £5,000 from the lawyer. Mr Baldry admitted he had made an “error of judgement”. The Banbury MP has personal business interests in Africa and has taken a political interest in the region.

    In 2005, he also apologised to the House of Commons after the committee on standards and privileges concluded that he failed to exercise sufficient care in distinguishing his public concerns as an MP from his private interests in relation to Sierra Leone. No comment was given by Mr Baldry yesterday.

    The bits where mandelson was spinning were fun , it was more “this was your life” , bit of lad, workacholic , impressed michael foot with his dominant impressive personality , toss up between him and blair , although that curious bit when tony would erm “step aside” , CW wants to know why tony would step aside esp if he was doing such a good job ? . why wasnt any else in the running . seriously from 1997 onwards Labour party was always going to vote in Gordon for the top job , dont know what to make of that .

    greatest modern day chancellor consensus , then his friend chips in “hes had a lot of bad luck since he took over” , ruin sort of “itwas nae me” , just posed as simples , yet he was supposoedly working every hour god sent , so how come commercial banking debt was over exposed ?? oopps a we slip , bad judgement or deliberate carless risk taking ??.

    CW thought if that was his appeal to the electorate to vote for him , he blew it , it was artificial with no purpose , interesting what the extra takes say , like 1950s USA sitcom Mr ned . lads mag interview punking his critics unable to say anyone else is better than him . Has not thrown things at Tony , but what about the others ??.

          Nevertheless Brown is a bordeline nutbar and when the polls go against him as they inevitably will. You will see a lot more of the real Brown emerge. The sulky control freak loon who throws things arond and bullies his underlings.

          You want the real Brown? Watch the clip where he gets asked about the £50k that he can’t account for. He can’t hide the anger and petulance that is part and parcel of this scoundrel. I will rejoice when they clear this fuckers goods out of No10. Probably followed by Brown in a strait jacket.

Brown is a fucking embarassment and the sooner we move on and leave his premiership to be disected by the historians, the better.

    Piers Wormtongue came across as an odious lick-spittle, and the audience must have had guns trained on them.

    Although it’s obvious that The Great Ruiner had been extensively coached and rehearsed, this was simply car-crash TV that only the deranged could have been taken in by.

    A new nadir in British politics.

    Gordon Brown had finally agreed to sit down with me for an interview entirely about his personal life, with no political statements or policy debate permitted.

    So the spin continues. He didn’t really want to do it but was sort of forced into it against his will really as he likes to keep that stuff private and not use his family as props.

    Old Holbourne had the picture of the two of those twats together with a pint which tells you all you need to know.

    They are both a pair of total hoons but have made enough money to ensure, unlike us proles that they won’t go short. Fucking hypocrites both of them and I still absolutely loathe Brown anf fucking Morgan for that matter.

    - He is close to his brothers (we know that, they share a cleaner)
    - Sarah does the shopping via the internet (even she looked baffled with that)
    - As soon as John Smith died (and before TB knew the news) he called him to sort out who would take over.

    I really don’t care about these contrived programmes designed to show Brown’s so-called human side. I gave it 5 minutes, could smell the coffee, and buggered off to bed to read Clare Short slagging off Blair and his illegal war. I couldn’t give a monkey’s if Brown has a warm side or not. I just want him to run the country reasonably competently, and this he has signally failed to do.

    What’s so important about Brown’s ‘private’ side? What’s that to do with me? How does it affect me? Zilch, zero, fuck-all. Give me a half-decent economy, education, NHS, less of a ‘broken society’ (Cameron’s right), and let’s have an end to starting illegal wars, the chimera that is preventing UK terrorism by our soldiers dying in Afghanistan, fucked-up pensions, Labour’s lies, deceit and sleaze.

    We don’t need a nice bloke to run the country well. Blair looked and sounded like he was a nice bloke and where did that get us? Christ, John Major, by all accounts, was a really nice bloke, but that didn’t help him stay in power; and quite right too.

    However ‘human’ Brown might briefly appear after Campbell’s and Morgan’s smoke and mirrors trick, he’s still screwed up the economy, and he’s still the worst prime minister that anyone alive ever heard of. Oh, and he’s still screwed at the next general election.
