There are suggestions that Chancellor Gordon Brown, the aspiring leader of the Labour Party, was behind the recent resignations aimed at discrediting the Blair leadership. (Brown has himself been unpopular with the New Labour membership since he was caught squeezing a zit live on national television.)
According to the Sunday Times (Sept 10) junior minister Tom Watson visited Brown at his home the day before he resigned.
Blair talked of dismissing Watson for disloyalty, perhaps he might be better advised to turn his guns on Brown. But then, Blair is believed to have reneged on a deal to hand over the leadership to Brown some time ago, so maybe he is getting his just desserts!
