"Tony Blair threw the Labour Party into further turmoil today by announcing that he 'hates' his probable successor and long-term political ally Gordon Brown."
Here are some highlights (my emphasis):
"A visibly irritated Mr Blair snapped when Mr Cameron suggested that to step down now would be 'massively disrspectful' to his successor and would leave soon-to-be leader Mr Brown with 'a right royal mess' to deal with.
Responding, the PM said: 'Of course I'm leaving a whole world of shit behind for Gordon, but that's the point!', he added: 'Don't you get it? That sniping, slimy jock prick has been trying to stab me in the back for the last 2 years, so Iraq is my gift to him'.
...
Mr Reid then leaned close to Mr Straw's face whilst gesticulating with his hand and seemed to mouth the word 'wanker', before finally leaving the chamber.
...
Shortly after the debacle, the Prime Minister released a statement calling Mr Brown: 'a hateful, untrustworthy, two-faced, penny-pinching liar', adding that the Chancellor wasn't even liked by those loyal to him, saying Mr Brown's supposed allies are: 'self-obsessed careerists, who've only got their own political ambitions in mind'.
He also claimed that the general electorate 'despised' Mr Brown, saying: 'Nobody's asked the voters - I have, and they all despise him. Every last one'."
