The Knives are out and first blood is drawn.

Well it looks like the first blood drawn in the final chapter is against Blair. Seems one of his loyal Blairites, Tom Watson, who was coincidently due to be sacked, has resigned quickly followed by Khalid Mahmood. Read more here.

I don't know but to be honest I don't see him lasting the year never mind lasting till mid 2007. His current time seems to be spent defending his decision not to give any dates for departure. Of course to be honest the more time he spends not screwing the country and looking after himself the better as far as I am concerned.

It looks like his pal Murdock has thrown his view in as they mention the 31-May as a date. If Blair wants his pal to keep a nice juicy job for him then he better not upset him by proving he is a liar.

I particularly was amused by the statement that leading Brownites are calling for the prime minister to make a public declaration about when he will go, so that he cannot go back on it. Have they never been involved in politics before. Elections promises turn to dust as soon as the winner is announced. Are they really so stupid that they think by letting this go on a statement that it will happen. By the time we get close to the date there will be another threat and we can't change leaders at this point. When Blair goes the Labour party will tear itself apart as the remainder of the pack fight to establish better positions for themselves.

Doug Henderson, a Brown supporter, says he cannot see what Mr Blair will achieve in the next 12 months. Neither do I but I also don't see what Brown is going to achieve either? His goal is to be PM for one day. Get the pension and the kudos and then sit while the party rips itself apart. Human nature.
