Mandelson email savages Brown (4)
Peter Mandelson’s claim that Gordon Brown is doing a great job is in tatters after it was revealed that he called the Prime Minister ‘insecure, self-conscious physically and emotionally, uncomfortable in his skin and angry’ in a leaked email.
The deeply wounding criticism was disclosed the day after Lord Mandelson rescued Mr Brown from a Cabinet revolt and was rewarded with the post of First Secretary of State – effectively Deputy Prime Minister.
The Business Secretary led a media blitz claiming that the revolt had been crushed and ‘good-humoured’ Mr Brown was the best man to lead the Labour Party and Britain
The claim was visibly at odds with Mr Brown’s strained demeanour at the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings in France, where he seemed exhausted and, at times, ill at ease alongside the composed Barack Obama, Prince Charles and Nicolas Sarkozy.

I agree. Gone in less than a week.
The article on Blair intrigues me. Could it be “Bring back Blair” time?

Blair did nothing to prevent the evolution of the EU from an economic union into a political one and brought GB a long way down the road to socialism… Not my favorite politician…

Agreed but any “solution” in a storm is better than nothing.
