It is expected that British Prime Minister Tony Blair will announce his plans to leave office Thursday, following eight resignations from his government.
Initial reports within the media have indicated that Blair will simply confirm what others had originally said – that he will look to step down by the time the 2007 Labour Party conference comes next autumn.
On a day that saw eight junior members of the government resign over Blair’s leadership, former Home secretary David Blunkett released a statement telling Chancellor Gordon Brown’s allies to stop their efforts to make Blair quit now.
Reports have also come out of the most hostile meeting yet between Blair and Brown yesterday, while a close friend indicated that their relationship was now buckling, report the BBC.
