The Blair/Brown Feud and World Politic

Guardian: Reports that the French and German Governments wanted to use the feud between Blair and Brown to their benefit. When internal party feuds become a benefit to foreign governments then the PM of the day has to act, but reading volume 1,2, of the Campbell diaries one can say that Tony Blair was very weak when it came to Gordon Brown. The idea that he thought Brown was brilliant and thus put up with his sulks, his political games through most of the Campbell diaries volume 1 and 2 is hard to see if you look at the Brown record as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the mess that the Coalition Government has to clean up comes form the time that Brown was Chancellor. But considering we are dealing with history, it says something about the lack of clarity at the present in the Miliband Labour Party that this story makes page 1 in the Guardian.
