BREAKING NEWS: Mandy Emails Condemn Brown

BREAKING NEWS: Mandy Emails Condemn Brown

Iain Dale 6:39 PM

Sky and the BBC News Channel are both reporting that the News of the World have emails from Peter Mandelson which are not exactly complimentary about Gordon Brown. More later...

UPDATE: I gather it's actually the Mail on Sunday who have the story, rather than the NOTW, although the NOTW is running a spoiler. UPDATE: The NOTW deny it is a spoiler. I give up! The emails to Derek Draper say...

• Gordon will lose the next election.
• the PM cannot do "X-Factor politics" of his predecessor Tony Blair.
• he slams his leadership style.
• Brown is "complex", unable to hide his insecurities and too self-conscious.
• voters are put off because they think Brown is "angry".

I am very much looking forward to doing the BBC News Channel paper review tonight at 11.20pm ... with Yasmin!
