BBC – Clarke reignites leadership row: Former Home Secretary Charles Clarke has accused Gordon Brown of “absolutely stupid” behaviour during the furore over Tony Blair’s leadership… Mr Brown met Tony Blair on Wednesday after a day of open warfare – and a string of resignations – over Mr Blair’s refusal to name a departure date or stand aside. The meeting prompted speculation about a deal between Mr Blair and Mr Brown over Mr Blair’s exit from Number 10 – an impression reinforced, says Mr Clarke, by a picture of Mr Brown grinning as he drove away from Downing Street. Mr Clarke said: “A lot of people are very upset and cross about that. It was absolutely stupid, a stupid, stupid thing to do… He is talented and brilliant but there are these little incidences like the grin in the car that build up a terrible picture.”

Rachel North – Another Elephant in the room!: Yeah, those unfortunate little incidences can be buggers can’t they? Especially when the pesky media get hold of them.
