Blair's Farewell

Blair to resign as MP tomorrow

Tony Blair will fly to his Sedgefield constituency tomorrow afternoon to resign from parliament with immediate effect.

The move will come as Gordon Brown prepares to enter Number 10 Downing Street just after lunchtime tomorrow and prepare for a radical shake-up of the cabinet.

Mr Blair's local party has been gathered to hear his plan to quit politics to pursue his interests in middle east peace making and inter-faith reconciliation.

Mr Brown will go to see the Queen around 1.30pm to be asked to form a government, buoyed by engineering the extraordinary defection to Labour of Quentin Davies, the pro-European Tory MP, who then delivered a devastating resignation letter to David Cameron accusing him of "superficiality, unrealiility, and an apparent lack of convictions".

So Blair leaves office and ends up as the international Middle East peace envoy, what a stupid choice, it'll really go down well with the Palestinians. Blair has no credibility at all, he won't be regarded as a fair observer. He gave support to a one of the worst mistakes (Iraq) ever made, what makes the quartetthink he can solve the problem between Israel and Palestine?
