Comments on: What happened to the left-wing Gordon Brown? http://www.lynnefeatherstone.org/2008/05/what-happened-to-left-wing-gordon-brown.htm Liberal Democrat MP for Hornsey and Wood Green Sat, 31 Jul 2010 03:08:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: dreamingspire http://www.lynnefeatherstone.org/2008/05/what-happened-to-left-wing-gordon-brown.htm/comment-page-1#comment-1078 dreamingspire Mon, 12 May 2008 21:45:00 +0000 http://localhost/wp28/?p=1713#comment-1078 Bernard, I'm not sure about that. Following the memoirs that have come out in the last few days there have been some very interesting comments from senior Labour people, leading me to think that Brown was in fact exasperated with the way that Blair was running things. If it was differences of style and personality, it nevertheless resulted in a profound disagreement, and Cherie's support of her husband suggests that she had no understanding of the situation, yet she is a senior lawyer. Take the money, take the money, I hear in the background... Bernard, I'm not sure about that.

The man's political instincts are atrocious. If Labour has anyone warming up in the bullpen (american baseball term), they had better get him/her ready to go into the game in short order.<br/><br/>Lee Meade Listening to Gordon Brown, i get the impression that he's thrashing around trying to invent (or reinvent) himself.

In policy terms, he and Blair were always joined at the hip. The differences between them were largely ones of style and pesonality, not substance.
