Gordon Brown rejects Rupert Murdoch's 'wholly wrong' claim of war between them I hope Mr Murdoch will have the good grace to correct his account. The newspaper had ran a front page editorial on September 30, 2009, saying "Labour's Lost It," timed to coincide with his keynote speech to the Labour Party conference. The former Sun editor, Kelvin Mackenzie, told the Leveson Inquiry last year that Mr Brown had "roared at" Mr Murdoch for 20 minutes, which Mr Murdoch described as a "colourful exaggeration." Giving his first account of the conversation, Mr Murdoch told the Leveson Inquiry that Mr Brown had indeed promised retribution. He said: "Mr Brown did call me and said "Rupert, what do you know, what's going on here?," and I said "What do you mean?" and he said "The Sun, what it's doing and how it came about." I said I was not aware of the exact timing, but I'm sorry to tell you Gordon that we have come to the conclusion that we will support a change of government when there is an election. Mr Murdoch went on to claim Mr Brown later made a "totally outrageous" claim about the way The Sun had found out about his son, Fraser, suffering from cystic fibrosis.
