Hilarious insights from Anthony Seldon, a Blair biographer, in his new book which looks at the tumultuous final year of Blair's tenure. Ed Balls referred to Blair as a "moron" and (deliciously) to Brown as "a bottler" after he refused to make a leadeship putsch after last year's local elections. At another stage Blair declared: "I'm going to take no more s%%t from over the road." Except, he did. He took lots more. Blair's cowardice in failing to deal with the mutinous Brown was matched only by Brown's cowardice in not making a decisive move. Read all about it in the Mail on Sunday.

I guess not, Brown is a bottler, but if he had done anything diferent he wouldn't be prime minister(I guess, but no guarantee)
