Bullying allegations confirmed by aide

New revelations in the form of a taped interview between pro-Labour journalist Suzie Mackenzie and one of Gordon Browns closest aides, Dr Stewart Wood, appear to confirm that allegations of bullying behaviour at No 10 are indeed true.

Ms Mackenzie says she made the tape public because people have the right to ask 'Is Gordon Brown fit to be Prime Minister?'

'Of course he is, we elected him... oh no, that's right we didn't...'

Bullying beefs up

The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown finds himself at the centre of a row with potentially devastating results. Is there a culture of bullying within No.10?

The opposition want an investigation, Labour ministers queue up to refute all allegations, and the press, sensing blood, pace the corridors of power looking for a cowed No.10 staffer with a fresh stapler bruise.

The founder of the charity 'National Bullying Helpline', Christine Pratt, has lost the plot with Downing Street.

A newly published book details several alleged bullying outbursts by the PM Gordon Brown, which ministers categorically deny. However Mrs Pratt said she had personally taken a call from staff in the PMs Office. She said 'our leader should lead by example and follow due process'.

Perhaps the Chilcott inquiry could broaden it's remit?
