Blair’s cabinet: ‘A Brown premiereship would be like sucking on a lemon…’

…Tony B is doing a great job of nodding and smiling at his ol’ mate Gordo during his speech.

But someone should’ve told the cabinet they’d be on camera too – never have so many people looked so miserable. Like a group of kids who have been told tomorrow is their last day at Disneyland. Which, like Chris Smith, is probably where most of them will end up when Gordo rules the roost.

One thing that will certainly get the politicos tongues wagging was TB practically falling off his chair applauding when GB said he’d relish the challenge of taking on David Cameron at the next election. Anointed, and yet not anointed, in a typical New Labour fudge.
