Jan. 2005 The Sunday Telegraph publishes extracts from Brown's Britain by Robert Peston, a journalist with close ties to the Brown camp, which details the Blair-Brown feud and describes their relationship as becoming one of "mutual animosity and contempt." Blair denies Peston's account, describing the book as "tittle-tattle," but Brown does not. Alarmed Labourites confront the pair at a heated meeting, and put pressure on them to quash the fuss. The next day, Brown says...
