Blair must go in a year - unions

Tony Blair last night faced calls from trade union leaders to resign within the year.

Tony Woodley, general-secretary of the Transport & General Workers Union, said it was 'common sense for the Prime Minister to move along quickly', given the slenderness of Labour's majority.

But in a surprise twist, both he and Amicus leader Derek Simpson - speaking ahead of this week's annual TUC conference, traditionally a preliminary to hostilities at the Labour party conference - increased the pressure on Gordon Brown too, by refusing to endorse him as successor. They suggested the Chancellor was part of the problem in disputes over manufacturing and labour law.

3. Bombs in London, Iraq a debacle, riots in Ulster, a fuel crisis

I think Blair might cut and run sooner than many realise.
