In truth, the blame lies with two brothers with twodifferentviews of Labour's future and with rival allegiances to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown - the men who used to say that they too were like brothers until they became embittered rivals.
The extent to which these represent two surprisingly distinct world views was emphasized by the impassioned and quite different responses I received in response to a recent post examining how the use of cheaper but slightly worse drugs should be prioritized by physicians and payors.
