Er, yes. Probably is.
Last week on Piers Morgan's pathetic example of pseudo-journalism, good old Gordon came across as an amiable kind of chap. But then, Adolf Hitler would also have presented as being perfectly normal with that type of questioning.
In the pressure pot environment that is Number 10, it's highly likely that there are spats on a daily basis. Afterall, it's been widely reported that Gordon and Tony often had blazing rows. Funny that he should play that down with Piers last week, and then today the proverbial shit hits the fan. I think he doth protest too much.
Christine Pratt - founder of the National Bullying Helpline charity - states that "three or four" Number 10 staff had called her helpline for advice, and that an e-mail had been received directly implicating Gordon Brown in this alleged bullying.
Is it in the public interest that we find out if Gordon Brown is a bully? Does it really matter? Probably not. What does matter to me is that New Labour have done nothing to address the allegations. It's all very well for Peter Mandelson to come out and say that Ms Pratt is a Tory stooge, but by saying that you're not addressing the issue, Mandy.
To my mind, this is what New Labour has become. Instead of addressing issues, they find ever more creative excuses for not dealing with them, and the public is fast becoming tired of it.
