I always believe at the end of the day he jumped to where he got the biggest publicity and the person that could assist him in the future and ensure that he would continue to be in the public eye long after he left office.
By keeping close to GWB he probably did achieve things that he believed in and would never have achieved as leader of the Labour Party but also landed himself his current position of middle east envoy.
Do I sound cynical yes but with our bunch of politicians I am not surprised I do.
Gotcha snugs, that does put a whole new light on things.
