Cherie's big mouth!

So Cherie Blair is being reported by Bloomberg as branding Gordon Brown a liar!

“Cherie Blair left the conference hall with her security detail as Brown was speaking to the Labour Party conference in Manchester, England today. As she walked through a display area outside the auditorium, Brown was on television monitors, extolling the strength and achievements of his political relationship with Blair. ``Well, that's a lie,'' she said, apparently unaware that she was within earshot of a Bloomberg News journalist.” (Read the full article here)

Of course Cherie and Downing Street are denying these claims. However there are two reasons that make me believe this story.

The first is Cherie’s attitude. The fact she walked out in the middle of Brown’s speech is enough to suggest she would make a comment like this, without the history she has regarding comments made about MPs in the past.

The second is Bloomberg’s strong refusal to retract the story. This suggests they are confident of the truth behind their story. (Of course if they didn’t they would have to brand their own reporter a liar!)

I guess this is just one of those situations where no one will be able to prove what was or wasn’t said. You will just have to make up your own minds who you believe! I’ll leave it at that…
