Telegraph: Reports more on the release of Downing Street emails from 2006 that cover the Brown Coup attempt against PM Blair, the articles the notes the following, " One email suggests that Mr Brown told Mr Blair that he should resign because the public “hate him”. ".
Lets Get Real:
The McBride memoir and the release of these emails will lead the former Blair and Brown supporters to fight the old fights, well lets hope they do, that is fun, having to listen to Ed Miliband do a speech is bad, at least this is TRUTH about the dirty side of politics, not something they teach if you want to go to politics. But to fair to Gordon Brown, he did have one hell of a wait, it would drive any normal man a bit crazy, he had spent his entire political life wanting to be PM, and then to see the Crown take by his one time friend Tony Blair, and then the long wait and the view that Blair had broken his promises to go at different times. What this blog fails to understand is that by 2006 the Brown Camp had WON, the Iraq War, the mess that was developing in Afghanistan, the support of Blair for Israel and Bush 43 had cut him lose from the Labour Party and to the Country to be honest, the Brown Camp could have waited, why rush, Blair was a spent force in many respects, the Coup attempt pushed Blair out but hurt Brown more, with the Party and Country. One can say that PM Blair should have sacked Brown years before, if he had he might be still in 10 Downing Street.
