Tony Blair and Gordon Brown
Introduction
Much of the contemporary comment on Tony Blair's premiership in the British press was about his strained relationship with Gordon Brown. Since much of what passed between them is known only to them, it is unlikely that an objective account of the matter will ever be available. Witness statements, in the form of memoirs[1] and interviews[2] by Tony Blair as one of the protagonists, and Peter Mandelson, their mutual colleague and confidante, became available for the first time, three or four years latter, in the Summer of 2010. There was no record available at that time of a corresponding statement by Gordon Brown.
In the following, the memoirs by Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson are denoted (TB) and (PM) and their interviews by Andrew Marr are denoted (TB/AM) and (PM/AM).
