From the NS archive: The Major/Lamont relationship 4 October 1999: They never liked each other and had little in common. Could this be a lesson for Blair and Brown?
By 1999, Tony Blair’s Labour Party had been in power for two years, with Gordon Brown as chancellor. Blair and Brown’s relationship was notoriously difficult for the duration of their time in office. In this piece from around the middle of New Labour’s first term, Julia Langdon considers another recent pairing of previous prime minister and chancellor: John Major and Norman Lamont. She recalls a conversation she had with Lamont nine years previously, in which she’d clocked his bitterness to Major, three years before his resignation from Major’s government in 1993. As she contemplates their differences and the eventual disintegration of their relationship, she wonders: could Blair and Brown learn from this?
