London, Sep. 21 : Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair thinks his successor Gordon Brown is a political "quitter" who could stand down before the next election.

According to a new book, Blair has told his inner circle that Brown does not have enough political courage.

Adam Boulton''s book Tony''s Ten Years reveals Blair''s real views on Brown.

Boulton is married to Anji Hunter, an old schoolmate of Blair who worked closely with him during his time in power.

And the book sensationally reveals that Blair doesn''t believe Brown will be able to handle an election battle with Conservatives leader David Cameron. (ANI)
