I think you are wrong. Brown would have taken the same approach as Sunak and Johnston took, and the support would have been the same. How you can think that the BBC and the Tories would have acted any differently if Labour had been in power depresses me. There is no inherent evil in Conservative thinkers and Socialist thinkers IMO. They have different ideas for economic growth but in a democracy no party can afford to focus solely on their core voters. I think the SNP struggle because they are so exclusive in focusing on independence.
