Between the lines with Gordon

The BBC report Gordon Brown as saying:

"I will support him in the decision he makes," Mr Brown told reporters on a visit to an athletic track in Scotland.

But he added: "This cannot and should not be about private arrangements but what is in best interests of our party and most of all the best interests of our country and I will support him in doing exactly that."

One view of this would be - unless Blair does what I think is in the country's interests ( ie making Gordon Brown PM asap ) then all bets are off. Also note how the BBC is getting its spinning mixed up - what Gordon hasn't really said circled in red - and the pro Gordon photos below. Old habits die hard I suppose
