That was my guess as well - except that press reports stated Blair pick
Brown.

Press reports are wrong. As I understand it: the Parliamentary Labour Party
picked Brown as the party leader. Because the Labour Party are the majority
party, the Queen invited Brown to form a government, as she would have done
if the party had just won an election. So the PM is elected, but as an MP,
not as the PM: that derives from his position as leader of the majority
party.
