I'll do it my way says Tony Blair

Should he stay or should he go now? Well, those in the Labour Party who hoped that he would name the day may be disappointed. However much pressure the Prime Minister has been under, he is still determined to do it his way and to his timetable. And he said so at Quinton Kynaston School a few minutes ago.

Amazingly, Mr Blair said the British people came first and that his own party should be mindful of that. Perhaps if we came first, Mr Blair would not have continued to dance to his own tune with many policies going against what the British people wanted. I think you know what I am saying!

As for Gordon Brown, if he is to take over, I don't know what to say; he is an unknown quantity as he isn't a dog owner. I don't even know if he has a cat! What I do know is that Mr Brown is the small business owner's enemy - and are his economic policies down to luck or sound judgement?

Who can say? What is clear is that Mr Blair may have been pushed to the edge but boy is he hanging on. Tenacity has found a home at No 10!

And of course the Blairs are pet-free; personally, I think that speaks volumes.

Woof Woof
