When Blair will quit, what Brown will change and how we can get out of
Iraq are not on the agenda in Brighton

The mystery is solved. A senior minister was puzzling about how relaxed
Gordon Brown had been during last week's cabinet meeting. "He usually
sits there as a brooding presence and very alone, now that all his
allies have been picked off," says my source, "but last week he seemed
very comfortable and relaxed."
The reason, of course, is that Brown knew he was about to be endorsed
as the next Labour leader by the leading Blairites, Tessa Jowell,
Patricia Hewitt and, more grudgingly, Charles Clarke. In return, Brown
was giving an interview to a Sunday newspaper promising not to betray
Tony Blair's legacy.
