Gordon Brown's attack yesterday on David Cameron's parenting was spiteful, inappropriate, and just plain pathetic.
Especially since he's being economical with the actualite.
Here's a glossy photograph of his family, featured in this Daily Mail puff piece, written at the height of the Brown bounce last summer, detailing how "The Premier, wife Sarah and boys John and Fraser" like to go to "Dorset, where bucket-and-spade family holidays are alive and well". So unlike the Blairs, you see. The family, we are breathlessly told, "will have to muck in when they stay at a friend's home" instead of being "waited on hand and foot" like those dastardly Blairs.
Maybe it's all nonsense, though, and this PR shot is actually photoshopped. I'd like to see a journalist hand him the picture and ask for a comment.
