Gordon Brown, in pre-election mode, uses Thomson Reuters platform

British prime minister Gordon Brown chose to use a Thomson Reuters platform to announce some major pre-election political news, including a public sector pay freeze on senior civil servants and the military.

Brown was speaking on Wednesday at Thomson Reuters’ London office at Canary Wharf as an invited guest in an occasional series of talks by “newsmakers”. His speech received wide media coverage, and Thomson Reuters got some credit as a newsmaking location – non-partisan, of course.

The Guardian newspaper noted that Brown was “speaking at Thomson Reuters in Canary Wharf, the same venue where the Tory leader, David Cameron, attacked Labour's record on the economy last week.” ■
