Blair's poisoned chalice

Any day now, please Lord any day now, "Big" Tony Blair is set to announce that he has had enough of making the world a better place in which to house his legacy and step down as the British Prime Minister. He and Cherie with have to pack up at Number 10*, making sure not to take any government property with them of course, and trundle off to one of the many homes that they have accumulated in their real estate portfolio whilst living off the state.

Meanwhile Big Tone's last official act as leader of the party will have been presiding over an election at which they received quite a spanking. Not to worry though as the Number 10 spin machine slips into high gear and willing soon be explaining to us why the results are a victory as they didn't do nearly as badly as they could have.

Poor Gordon, eh?

*Note: I'm not sure if the Blairs are moving out of Number 10 or Number 11. I remember that, early on in his Premiership, that the Blairs, who had a three kids living at home at the time, swapped the smaller flat at Number 10 with Gordon Brown, then a bachelor, for the larger flat at Number 11. I don't know if they undid this at any point after two of the Blair kid moved out and Gordo got married and had kids of his own.
