Tony Blair appears to have accepted the inevitable and is expected to finally announce a timetable for his resignation within hours

I know that some of you will disagree, but I have to believe this is a good thing. Blair's been there too long, he's lost his credibility and he needs to go.

I don't want to see Labour disintegrate completely - it's not healthy for British democracy when one party is unelectable - but they have to face the future and start fixing the things that the Blair years have broken.

Personally, I reckon he'll be gone before the end of January. Perhaps sooner.

Possibly it's the media spin on things, but Blair's current desperation to be loved by the public really disturbs me. He didn't get elected to be liked, he got elected to sort out the country, mainly public services. If he wants to be loved, he could do something to stop hospitals racking up huge debts and closing down services. Two cottage hospitals in my area have been closed and the one in my hometown is closing - if he fancies coming to Trowbridge and being hailed as a good bloke, he could try lending a hand to the campaign to keep ours open rather than talking to Chris Evans or going on Blue Peter.

That's one thing you can say for the Thatch - she didn't care who didn't like her.
