Actually , if you dig a little deeper, all of Brown's non-Parliamentry earnings are going to charity, either directly or through his own work. Unlike Bliar's mostly tax-free millions. Also Blair resigned as an MP to earn his money in camera, whereas Brown's are all fully disclosed in the Register of Interests.
Brown was a flawed politician and a supremely incompetent Chancellor and PM, and someone I wish had never got anywhere near the reigns of power but he is one of the few totally honest ones.Blog? What blog...?Comment
