Blair's Perpetual Deputy

Career prospects for Gordon Brown:

But Brown's best move might be to resign as Prime Minister, and become deputy to Blair in all the jobs his old boss is doing. Then each time he can moan that he wants to take over, until Blair finally resigns, then Brown can take over for 20 minutes before becoming Blair's deputy in his next job, until they're both in a retirement home, with Brown saying: "He promised I could take over organising the rummy evenings after six months, it's been 14 years now."

And this is coming from Mark Steel on The Independent website. Brown’s support has waned so much that not even the left and the Labour party seem to support him anymore. Hell, I doubt he even supports himself. Brown should have stayed in Blair's shadow: his time in the sun has shown just how quickly his sickly grey flesh melts when exposed to the centre stage.
