i do just think i’ll always come back to tony blair and gordon brown. “have you ever been in love?” “not with a man”. “there’s nothing you could say to me now that i’ll ever believe.” the granita pact. gordon slow clapping as tony does his first party conference as leader. the windowless office in the 80s. the three hour long phone calls. the meetings late at night. separated by just the walls of number 10 & 11 downing street. roy jenkins comparing himself and tony crosland to them. tony resigning but still advising gordon. the autobiographies. the cenotaph reunions. it truly never ends for them.
