Brown Indirect ATTACK on Tony Blair

Telegraph: Reports on an indirect political attack on Tony Blair by his successor Gordon Brown, the former PM was critical of leaders who broke their promise to step down after two terms. The Blair Camp would argue that Tony Blair was quite willing to step down before the 2005 election as long as his Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown followed through with the New Labour Agenda of Tony Blair. The argument between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown comes down to a disagreement on a promise by Tony Blair to step down as long as Gordon Brown followed through with the New Labour Agenda, by 2005 it was clear to then PM Tony Blair that he could not trust Brown to follow through on reform thus his decision to run in 2005. Both men heard different things, Blair heard a promise to carry on his Agenda while Brown heard the promise to step down, neither side in the end heard each other, they heard what was important to them and their camps.
