Brown accused: Military chiefs (and lots of mainstream media) accuse him of misleading Chilcot inquiryThe Saturday newspapers are well worth a read today.
After partially watching Sky News' coverage of and reaction to Gordon Brown's appearance at the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war yesterday, we were left with the impression that Gordon Brown had been transformed into a demi-religious messiah with righteousness permeating every pore and sinew of his very being.
However, on the next day...
It's report cites Admiral Lord Boyce, the Chief of the Defence Staff and Colonel Stuart Tootal, former commander of 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment as both having issues with Brown's evidence to Chilcot.
The Telegraph, meanwhile, states: "Gordon Brown has been denounced by military chiefs for claiming he gave the Armed Forces all the money they needed."
In their report, General Lord Walker - chief of the defence staff from 2003 to 2006, Lord Guthrie - a former chief of the defence staff, Major General Patrick Cordingley - a commander in the first Gulf War, and Sir Kevin Tebbit - the former permanent secretary at the MoD are all named as raising questions and criticisms.
