Gordon Brown: this is apparently the only image of him in the Vox Political archive – and is about as clear as Martha Kearney’s perception of him.
Here’s more evidence that the BBC is heavily Tory-influenced – and now we can mark down Martha Kearney as a Tory/Establishment mouthpiece, if we hadn’t already done so.
Former New Labour prime minister Gordon Brown appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning (November 10), where he made the following statement:
Gordon Brown says using a public office for private gain "should be banned outright"
He names 3 issues:
– conflict of interests
– appts to Lords
– foreign money in UK politics"All must be addressed … otherwise this will be a parliament increasingly identified with sleaze"

In response, Ms Kearney tried to catch him out:
What a Failed Gotcha moment:
Martha Kearney: “You earned more than a million pounds in addition to your salary in 2014”
Gordon Brown: “That is incorrect. I gave all of that money to charity. I always did.”#r4today

Here is the correct interpretation of that incident:
Martha Kearney making the mistake of accusing Gordon Brown of making moonlighting money when he was an MP. He gave the lot to charity. This is *not* balance it’s indiscriminate smearing.

Yes indeed; she was trying to smear an honest man – and (even though he wasn’t a proper socialist) a better prime minister than anybody we’ve had since.
