Backseat driving

I always thought that when he became leader, Brown would send Blair abroad to avoid the problems Major faced from old Maggie, who haunted him from the Lords.  Blair would suit some overseas job- he’s certainly spent alot of time abroad.  But before he can do this, there is the matter of what to do with his parlaimentary seat.

According to the weekend gossip, Tony wants to resign his Parliamentary seat in the autumn.  This clearly presents a dilemma for Brown.  He can’t have Blair hanging around the backbenches but an early by-election could cause problems, even in such a safe seat as Sedgefield.  Perhaps Blair should just spend less time in Westminster and more in his constituency for a while- his voters might even like that.
