A
video that senior Labor sources had previously said didn't exist has been found
by the Sun.
The
video, of a conversation between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in the aftermath
of the John Smith death, clearly shows Tony Blair promising to hand over the Premiership
to Gordon Brown after a second term, in return for Brown not challenging Blair
for Labor leader.
The
political ramifications of this discovery are immense and may bring forward Tony
Blair's resignation as PM by hours, or even days.
Our
political editor is down the pub but will respond later.
