And now this new book
Excerpts of “The End of the Party’’ by Andrew Rawnsley of The Observer, appeared yesterday in the newspaper. Brown and his associates vigorously contested The description.
In one passage, the book describes Brown as furious when a journalist identified similarities between an address he gave at Labor’s 2007 conference and speeches given by Al Gore and Bill Clinton.
Bob Shrum, who worked for both before becoming a speechwriter for Brown, was left shaking by an expletive-laden outburst from the prime minister, according to Rawnsley.
In another passage, the author says Brown yanked a secretary from her chair when she typed too slowly and flew into rages so regularly that a nearby chair was dotted with marks from where he stabbed it with a pen.
“It is simply a lie to say I’ve hit anybody in my life,’’ Gordon Brown commented.
