pickAn excellent account of the infighting between the major participants in the first New LAbour government between 1997 and 2001. The animosity between Blair and Brown was vitriolic even then.

Fascinated by this account of the successes, failures and extraordinarily deep animosities of the first New Labour administration (1997-2001). I am amazed that they achieved anything as so much time and energy were expended pursuing bitter rivalries and grudges within the Cabinet. #andrewrawnsley #servantsofthepeople #ukpolitics #politics #history #newlabour #tonyblair #gordonbrown
