Tony Blair to Step Down June 27th

In case you haven’t yet checked today’s news, Tony Blair has announced that he’ll step down on June 27th. Expect lively chatter from the punditry in 5…4…3…

Here’s some reading to get you started: Mary Ann Sieghart’s article in the Times, I’ll give Blair six and a half out of ten, in which she compares him to late-50s/early-60s British PM Harold Macmillan:

…better than average when the historians come to evaluate him. Worse than Churchill, Attlee and Thatcher, perhaps, but certainly better than Major, Callaghan, Eden, Douglas-Home, Heath and Wilson.
