Cook: Give Brown key campaign role

Perhaps the title should read; “Cook: Brown give me a job once you’ve got rid of Tony”? Not quite as snappy I know but let’s be frank, getting rid of Blair will be Brown’s central concern if Labour win the election. Cook knows this and I reckon he’s doing the political equivalent of sending flowers by making this an issue:

“Former foreign secretary Robin Cook called for Chancellor Gordon Brown to be given a central role in Labour's General Election campaign. Mr Cook warned that recent "negative" campaigning tactics were proving a turn off for voters and he contrasted them unfavourably with the positive campaign run by Mr Brown in the 2001 election.”
