There is a theory that this is nothing to do with Brand but he is just a way for Murdoch to attack the British establishment, who he hates.

Brand worked at all the main channels and has been involved with the Labour party.

If Murdoch can make this into a present day Jimmy Saville scandal he will be able to take out many of his old enemies and create pressure to privatise the BBC and Channel 4.
