Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
LONDON, June 28 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair is expected to announce he will resign as early as next May, The Telegraph reports, citing members of Parliament.
Blair's position has been weakened by the war in Iraq and on the domestic front where former Home Secretary Charles Clarke has publicly criticized his former boss.
The Telegraph reports there have been enough rumors of Blair's exit that the presumptive replacement, Chancellor Gordon Brown, has taken powerful steps like reopening a deal Blair reached on the EU budget.
The newspaper said Blair would likely leave office around the time of his 10th anniversary of prime minister. He took office May 2, 1997.
The move by Blair may quell disapproval within his party ahead of the Labor Party conference in September, although it may prompt opponents to push for him to leave the post immediately.
