The boys are back in touch

Gordon Brown has at last struck the blow he has been waiting for against the new Tory leader, though you might have thought it was Tony Blair who today had a clear victory at Prime Minister's Questions against David Cameron. He branded him a "flip-flopper" and brandished a Tory leaflet from the Dunfermline by-election.

In the leaflet David Cameron described himself as a "liberal Conservative" who now shared the Lib Dems' views on a range of things, including the environment - no huge surprise there. But in a statement that has eyebrows in Westminster heading for the ceiling, he claimed that they agreed on Iraq as well.

So what's Gordon Brown got to do with any of this?

Well, the chancellor happens to live in the Dunfermline constituency and the leaflet was posted through his door. Who says the Blair and Brown partnership isn't working again?
