We all know he is going to stand down before the next election, but should Tony Blair hang on as Prime Minister?

With a sizeable majority of his cabinet wanting him out, as well as a growing number of back benchers, is he begining to look like an even more desperate man?

He apparently wants to reach his ten year anniversary as PM next May, after giving up on the idea that he could hold on as long as Maggie's eleven years as Premier.

No matter what you think of his politics, history will remember him him as the PM who swept into power with the largest majority for hundreds of years.

It all seems a bit sad, a bit like when a sporting great refuses to retire and you see them beaten by an unworthy opponent.

Time to go Tone.
