Tony Blair and Gordon Brown appear on GMTV.

Connoisseurs of the Blair-Brown relationship will have enjoyed the pair's appearance on the GMTV sofa this morning. They were there to sell Labour's plans to help ordinary working families, but inevitably their relationship was top of the bill.
Asked if he wanted the prime minister's job, Mr Brown froze momentarily before giving his standard answer: "It's not the job that's important, it's doing good things, it's doing the right things."
He even attempted a joke to illustrate their close working relationship, revealing that they had been forced to become intimate when assigned to a small shared office without windows or air conditioning as young backbenchers.
Mr Brown began to look more cheery, however, once the questioning was passed to a panel of young mothers, one of whom proceeded to savage Mr Blair over the Child Support Agency's continued failure to get some money out of her former partner.
