MINISTERS RESIGN IN PROTEST AT BLAIR'S RELECTANCE TO QUIT


Blair hit by wave of resignations

Mr Blair is being urged to make a public announcement concerning his impending resignation.

Tony Blair has now faced a wave of resignations by junior members of his government over his refusal to name a date for resignation as Labour leader.
He branded ex-junior minister Tom Watson, the most senior person to quit, "disloyal, discourteous and wrong" for signing a letter urging him to go.

The resignations came as Mr Blair faces growing pressure to name a departure date or even quit now.

Gordon Brown's backers say assurances he will resign in May are "not enough".
