Blair on the ropes

Tony Blair is facing increasing pressure to step down as PM after a number of Government members resigned rather then continue to serve under him.

Whether it's part of a plot by Chancellor Gordon Brown to oust Blair or not is unclear at the mo, although i'm sure that for many anti-war campaigners (Or simply those disgusted at Blair's actions and foreign policy over the past five years) it won't matter a jot as long as the 'war criminal' is made to suffer a humiliation.

Since Blair led New Labour to a third election success last year though, it remains to be seen if the electorate are as keen to topple the Prime Minister before he reaches his 10 years in office.

Either way, Blair won't be contesting the next general election (Due by 2010) and yet while Brown may be relishing the opportunity to lead the country, I can't imagine Labour under the Scotsman will win that election.
