The Guardian: Blair faces crisis over resignations (a coup?)
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labourleadership/story/0,,1865980,00.html
>>>Snip
Tony Blair today faced an implosion of his authority after seven government members resigned in protest at his refusal to publicly name a departure date.
>>>>Snip
The Liberal Democrat leader, Menzies Campbell, said the national interest was "not being served by the continuing uncertainty over Mr Blair".

The chancellor, Gordon Brown, was spotted leaving the rear of Downing Street earlier today after what was reported to be an angry and uresolved conversation with the prime minister.

Unlike in previous crises, there was a conspicuous lack of cabinet ministers taking to the airwaves to defend the prime minister.

3. labour needs a new leader now
Blairown is old, and a fresh face to challenge cameron's authenticity is needed.

But i fear the tory's are back, and blair is pledged to the american right to stay
on as long as possible to corrupt all electoral chances for labour.
