"What Gordon had gone through was immense hurt. I mean at first he was disbelieving, and then almost inconsolable"

How does one justify a betrayal? Do you think decades later you could stare at a camera and talk about how heartbroken your ex best friend closest ally was when you helped his greatest counterpart, the person he had thought of as his greatest supporter (and why wasn't that you?), stab him in the back and steal his lifelong goal out from under him, and not regret it?

Could you convince yourself that it was necessary for the good of the party? Could you convince yourself that that made it worthwhile?

And now I will make the necessary connections to Julius Caesar yet again (hold out no hope for consistency in character assignations between posts, they're all Caesar at some point, trust me)

"If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus’s love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demands why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.”

Caesar trusted Brutus completely, he was his greatest helper and closest friend. Their relationship was built on such love and trust that his support was never questioned. Cassius won Brutus on warnings of danger and promises of prosperity for the city-state. Brutus betrayed Caesar because he thought it would be better for Rome.

"Et tu Brute?"

It is strange then that even in the upholding of that betrayal you cannot help but look to him. Cassius may have won Brutus but the betrayal was Brutus' to enact and Caesar's to experience. Cassius may feel the fire of his actions for the rest of his life but he will not feel the hints of reconciliation, for that honour rests only in the one whose betrayal was so dumbfounding in the first place. It was not the counterpart who the world might have suspected to take that step, but the dearest friend who silently and tragically supported him that drove that final dagger home.

"I rather tell thee what is to be feared than what I fear, for always I am Caesar, come on my right hand, for this ear is deaf and tell me truly what thou thinkest of him”

He will live in constant fear of Cassius, always suspecting a betrayal or a fight or a coup where there is none. But will he ever trust you Brutus again?

Mystifyingly, yes.

If Peter Mandelson were a teenager today he would LinkedIn stalk his crushes

And his crushes would be future politicians and that one Y13 we all have (nameless, gay, very good dress sense)

And he'd be really fucking good at it
