Blair less spun than Brown?
Stephen Tall has a good thesis about the differences between Blair and Brown. I particularly liked
"Mr Blair’s speeches have a compelling narrative: they take you on a journey, even if you want to wind the window down half-way there because you feel sick. Mr Brown’s speeches take you hostage: gagged and bound in the boot of the car, he lets you out, disorientated and resentful, only once you’ve arrived at his pre-arranged destination. "
