So Brown chopped the choppers after all

So as well as making all the domestic politics ministries answerable to the Chancellor as per the Granita Pact, Blair allowed Brown to dictate how the Ministry of Defence was to allocate its funds, and he vetoed the purchase of helicopters? The RAF has decided to leak the relevant government paperwork to the media. So in addition to half his Cabinet turning against him, Brown is now known to have betrayed the Air Force directly. And the Army indirectly. Or directly. We await further information.

Way to go, Brown.

And tomorrow we are to learn, rumour has it, of some of his other endearing little ways. I wonder whether any of those might include involving himself in Donorgate? Perish the thought.
