Tony Blair about to (finally) officially resign
The worst kept secret in politics but Tony Blair has just left Downing Street to go to the place where he will give his official resignation speech. He still has a couple more weeks in the office until the Labour party goes through a farce of a leadership race and Gordon Brown is made the new Prime Minister but today is still the day when he says when that last day is - finally. It has been a very long goodbye.
This is interesting for me as a political nut because when I moved to the UK John Major had already taken over from Thatcher and was in his last year. So, this is the first time I have seen a Prime Minister change without a national election...very interesting stuff from a political nut's perspective.
