Brown's Comments Leave Blair's Silence Hanging In The Air - But Not For Long.
The deafening silence from Downing Street and Tony Blair was broken today, as No. 10 was forced to issue a statement shortly after Chancellor Gordon Brown, who is expected to take over from Blair within months, condemned the manner of the Saddam lynching in Iraq.
Brown described the manner of the hanging as 'completely unnacceptable' and 'deplorable'.
It's hard to believe that Brown's comments were anything else than a deliberate poke in the eye for Blair, and a pointed reminder of his increasing irrelevence as a Prime Minister, and to his inability to influence anything much more than his own departure from office.
