New claims about the difficult relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are to be made in a television documentary just days before the Chancellor takes over the reins of power.

The Channel 4 documentary The Rise And Fall Of Tony Blair, due to be broadcast on Wednesday evening, features interviews with former Cabinet ministers, Downing Street insiders and a family friend of the Prime Minister who testify to the tension between numbers 10 and 11.

Mr Blair's former director of policy Matthew Taylor told the programme that staff at 10 Downing Street felt like "children in a dysfunctional relationship", according to reports.
