Bell told a friend today that Brown was going to move in on Blair after Butler and the disastrous election results.

Blair is no longer an electoral asset.

In fact, quite the opposite.

The real reason Brown decided to move however was that Blair decided to obey Cheney when he was ordered to stay in place, no matter what, until after the Nov. elections in The US.

Blair's presence was begining to damage The Labour Party and Government irrevocably.

Brown had to move.

He had no choice.

The end of blair.
