Telegraph | News | Poll blow for Brown as Blair refuses to back him
Mr Blair urged his party to focus on "big issues" at the conference. Interviewed on BBC's Sunday AM programme, he repeatedly refused to endorse Mr Brown, although he pointed out that he had already said the Chancellor would make a brilliant prime minister.
"Gordon has been a fantastic Chancellor," he said. "He has been a great servant of the country and the party and I don't resile from anything I have said before."
Resile? -Be honest how many times a day is that a word you use, either Mrs Blair with her lawyer speak has been prompting him or he has too much time on his hands and doing The Times crossword everyday. There was a time when Tony's internal antenna would have twitched before using a word that betrayed he isn't just an ordinary bloke on the Telly, maybe he no longer cares.
