Blair to step down in June
Tony Blair announced on Thursday he would step down on June 27 after a decade as prime minister. President Bush said that he’d miss him.
Blair’s popularity has suffered since he sent British forces to join the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. A Labour Party rebellion in September forced him to say he would quit within a year, opening the way for Gordon Brown to take over.
