This article comments on the relationship between British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and heir-apparent to his position, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown. The author claims Blair and Brown loath each other, and Brown has been trying to force Blair into setting a date for when he will step down. After several resignations and heated meetings between the two, Blair said the Labour conference of September 2006 would be his last. Questions raised by Blair's foreign policy and a strong new Conservative leader have brought Blair's premiership where it is, but the author claims Brown cannot answer the urgent questions being raised.
