 rattling the keys
Quote:
Cherie Blair last night accused Gordon Brown of trying to drive her husband out of Number 10 - by "rattling the keys" of Downing Street above his head.
She claimed Mr Brown, who was then Chancellor, attempted to force Tony Blair out of power as long ago as April 2004.
In two extraordinary interviews to coincide with the surprise early release of her autobiography, Mrs Blair laid bare the extent of the feud between the two men at the heart of Labour's most successful government.
| Hi, What is the implication for " rattling the keys" here? I knew No.10 Downing Street is British Prime Minister's official residence. Thanks! |
