Tony Blair 'will stay on as PM'

[Freddie Stubbs]

Colleagues of Tony Blair have insisted he will stay on as prime minister despite indications that he considered stepping down last month.
On Saturday morning, the BBC learned that four cabinet ministers were so concerned he may quit that they personally urged him to stay.

Downing Street has pointed to recent remarks made by Mr Blair when he said he was "absolutely up for" staying on.

And one of the ministers, Tessa Jowell, says she is confident he will carry on.

1. I like Blair more than most here

but I think he should step down and turn things over to Gordon Brown.
