Exit strategy

The views of a prospective candiidate, who has not won an election, may not be central to the Prime Minister's deliberations but my thouights on the leadership are as follows :

The recent pressure for clarification on the leadership question has reached a stage where the Prime Minister must now give his party and the wider country clarity on the way ahead. I feel this has become inevitable as a result of the various letters leaked to the press and the debate surrounding the leadership I feel it is now time for Tony Blair to leave the role of Prime Minister in a way which retains his dignity and with the Party also able to acknowledge his great achievement in leading Labour to three general election victories.

Not to have that clarity can only cause us further problems and that must be avoided if we are to fight the Welsh and Scottish elections without unnecessary distraction.

That is the text of my press release on the matter but whether it is of much interest amongst all the other stories we wait to see.
