Brown's Future

The Leadership crisis at the heart of Britain's ruling Labour Party has taken yet another intriguing turn when David Milliband, Foreign Minister, key Cabinet member and strong ally of the ousted former PM Tony Blair, called for a "change in the government’s style and policy", and refused to rule out a bid for the Party Leadership (Financial Times).

Allies of Mr. Brown hit back at what they called the "disloyal" and "self-serving" minister, raising the tone in the increasingly bitter in-fighting that has dogged Mr Brown's government since Tony Blair was forced out of Office.
