Bye-bye Mr Blair
 

So...Just watching the telly as The Peoples' Prime Minister drives up to Sedgefield WMC, where no doubt he he going to give a tearjerker speech to the assembled local party hacks. The Cabinet will know the details of his leaving already. But does the Queen - and if not, why not? Surely the constitutional convention is that she should be formally consulted first? Maybe he's in a bit of a rush before the cops arrest him for flogging honours? Anyway, its a poor show.

...he's informed Helen Mirren of his intentions instead.

Re: Bye-bye Mr Blair
 

all this stuff to me is so boring!!!!!!, but i like blair, but cameron for some reason makes me want to put my foot in his gob!!:D

Re: Bye-bye Mr Blair
 

Don't think the Queen needs to know until he actually resigns. He has only announced his intention to resign today. If he resigned today then Two Jags would be Prime Minister, perish the thought !!

Anyway the Queen is currently on holiday at Disneyland in Washington :)

the 3 musketeers, blair, reid, and prescott, all stepping down, we may just possibly have a labour government next.:rolleyes:

Re: Bye-bye Mr Blair
 

He didn't get up this morning and suddenly decide on a date. I would imagine the Queen has known, for some time, exactly when he was going and when he was going to announce it.
