Gordon Brown and AMW

Presumably the information GB is now presenting on AMW is stuff he had access to while he was in Governement? If so, why is he only speaking out now? Or did he try earlier and the establishment was such that even the PM couldn't be heard?

I like GB, always did, I'm curious about what it was that means he's only speaking out now.

I found it interesting that she managed a snarky response to me but completely blanked the post from @52andblue.

Really? How do you find the tone in your posts?

There’s been a few insults so far, are you aware of that?

Still focused on me?

I'm flattered.

ETA that it would be good to see sone acknowledgement from you, though, in response to the posts from @52andblue and @LizzieW1969.

A discussion about the political use of language in relation to CSA is relevant to the subject matter? Although dragging in what Starmer said to Badenoch is a bit of a derail.

Not really. But I wondered if you were aware.

This is a Starmer, Labour issue. Even if the thread fills up with posts about KB.

Actually, this thread was about Gordon Brown, not Starmer.

But inevitably, discussions evolve and move on. There is nothing inherently surprising about us discussing either Starmer or Badenoch on this thread.

@willstarttomorrow Brilliant post. In these mad days, it's cheering to see that many agree with you.
