    I'm not sure that's the case with Brown and Blair, especially in the Labour Party

    Given his legacy over Iraq, Tony Blair's inclusion at number three is controversial to say the least!

    Still, he did know how to win a general election, something we're unlikely ever to be able to say about Jeremy Corbyn.

    Just morals would be a bonus Cameron's compass could be useful. Shame no politicians seem able to read it. Hey ho!
