British Prime Minister Gordon Brown talks to British troops at their base in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Baghdad, October 2, 2007. Brown kept election speculation alive on Friday by scheduling two major announcements for early next week, though opinion polls showed his party's commanding poll lead evaporating.

Brown chose to wear a navy blue tie for this meeting with the troops. A similar tie is available here.
