Curt 1 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Good old Tony Blair is, sob, quitting next month. A moments silence please. Quote: Tony Blair has announced he will stand down as prime minister on 27 June. He made the announcement in a speech to party activists in his Sedgefield constituency, after earlier briefing the Cabinet on his plans. He acknowledged his government had not always lived up to high expectations but said he had been "very blessed" to lead "the greatest nation on earth". He will stay on in Downing Street until the Labour Party elects a new leader - widely expected to be Gordon Brown. Link to post Share on other sites
