I heard that Blair seriously thought about sacking Brown but chose not to do so because he thought he'd be more damaging a back-bencher than as a deputy Prime Minister...
What???
Is Blair for real? He's expecting us to believe that he thought that Brown could do more damage as a back-bencher? So Blair thought it through and came to the conclusion that rather than be barracked from the back-benches by Brown (who would have no real power), he'd keep him on, knowing full well that Brown would one day become PM?!?
Blair is a coward and a liar. His new book is nothing more than a retrospective finger-pointing exercise to attempt to exonerate himself from the most unpopular, disastrous episode in recent British political history.
I can barely believe I am writing this being a former Labour supporter. Blair's legacy will live on for a long, long time as being the most dishonest, untrustworthy and warmongering one there has been for several generations.
