He's not Tony Blair

Gordon doesn't mince his words

It was an oddly low key speech from Gordon Brown outside No 10 Downing Street. But it didn't need much decoding. Essentially he said "I'm not Tony Blair" in about five different ways. I thought Sarah Brown looked uncomfortable, but who wouldn't. Earlier at the Treasury she had left it to her husband to say his goodbyes. She didn't get involved. I suspect this will be how it will continue.
