politics: September 2003 Archives

Fascinating article in the Observer today about a new film to be released on the eve of the Labour party conference. It is called The Deal and will be on Channel 4 on the 28th September at 9pm.
The film traces the history of the rise of new labour seen from the 1992 defeat to more recent events and is a lovely look back at what was and is now, the background of the Hutton enquiry just gives it sharper relief. A mixture of archive footage and a fictionaly portrayal bring the tension between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown to live, it centers around the fascinating question of what was the deal made between the two.
