Does this mean an end or beginning for the US/UK Alliance? Bottom line...likely the same old, same old. Goodbye Tony...thanks for the love.
Chancellor Gordon Brown is preparing to officially launch his bid to be the next Labour leader and prime minister.Following Tony Blair's announcement that he will step down on 27 June, the process of selecting a successor begins - with Mr Brown overwhelming favourite.
The only other contenders, backbench Labour MPs Michael Meacher and John McDonnell have yet to say if they have enough backers to enter the race.
Mr Brown is expected to pledge to make Britain a "better and fairer" place.

edeepthroat, thanks for getting this story out so quickly. It will now show up on the home page for four hours. If new developments justify it, I'll renew this flag for another cycle.

Expect more of the same, but without the displays of personal warmth. Gordon Brown has overseen an economy that is a bridge between US and European markets, he won't want to jeopardise that now. At the same time, he won't want to look like the lapdog of a right-wing president who is on his way out of office anyway.
