LONDON: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Saturday gave the surest sign yet there will be no move to distance London from Washington under his watch, even suggesting ties could get stronger.
Ahead of his first meeting as prime minister with George W. Bush, Brown gave no relief to critics in his centre-left Labour Party unhappy at the close ties his predecessor Tony Blair forged with the right-wing Republican president.
"It is in the British national interest that the relationship with the United States is our single most important bilateral relationship," Brown said in a statement.

That's about the first good thing that the new British Prime Minister has done, by my reckoning. Jedi blogrollers EU Referendum have been relentlessly critical of Brown's treatment of the European Union issue.
They certainly keep a closer watch on UK events than I do.
