The Times: Reports on the call by Tony Blair's Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer for PM Gordon Brown to resign. Lord Falconer is a close friend of Tony Blair, in their younger days they shared a flat. Lord Falconer did state that he had not talked to the former PM. Lets say I am a cynic on that count. This is the final battle between Blair and Brown, it can be postulated that Blair can see the future, New Labour destroyed in the General Election next year, he does not want that for Labour or his reputation, expect former heavy guns to come out, this is their final chance, if they do not remove Brown he will be in power in till 2010. The Cabinet are political cowards, they are afraid to lose their chauffeurs and perks of the job, thus its down to Labour backbenchers.
