Mr Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, had sworn at senior aides and ‘roughly shoved aside’ an adviser and hit a car seat, according to an extract in the Observer from a forthcoming book by Mr Andrew Rawnsley. ‘I have never, never hit anybody in my life,’ Mr Brown said. ‘I throw the newspapers on the floor or something like that.’ The question then moved on to whether bullying went on in 10 Downing Street: ‘three or four’ telephone calls had been made to the National Bullying Helpline in recent years, according to its chief executive. Lord Mandelson, the First Secretary of State, said that Mr Brown ‘doesn’t bully people’.
