Next up to face the not so subtle interviewing techniques of Gordon Brewer on #newsnicht is Iain Gray
Timing in politics everything. If Iain Gray had been the first Leader up, he may have got an easier time. But this interview came after a fresh set of poor poll results for Labour, the subway incident, a good performance from Alex Salmond on Question Time, and both Labour’s flagship policy and statistics on knives and Richard Baker were torn to shreds on Newsnight Scotland the previous night.
No wonder he looked terrified at the start. Highlight was the comment about the infamous Subway event “I did not run, I walked away”
