Not a big fan of Blair/Brown, but facts are facts…

I think the Blair years were good, I voted for him both times. It was his sycophantic boot licking of GWB boots that defined his legacy.
Brown was the PM nobody asked for or wanted, and was the first example in my memory of the Government really taking the piss with the electorate. We’ll appoint a PM instead of you electing him, and the electorate showed what they thought of that.
The UK electorate always get it right.
In regards to Labours reputation, it was well earned before B&B, the fact the crash happened on their watch, even if not totally their fault, it happened on their watch and that just compounded the narrative.
