Tony Blair and his threat to resign

This is just to remind people that back in January this year the police wanted to interview Tony Blair under caution but backed down when Scotland Yard was informed by a political intermediary that Mr Blair would resign as Prime Minister if he was interviewed under caution. You can read more about this here.

Apart from finding it despicable but entirely believable that Mr Bliar would try and escape the embarrassment of being interviewed under caution, I also felt that Scotland Yard should not have backed down. Tony Blair and his team have always made great play of the fact that Tony Blair has not been interviewed under caution and that he is only a witness not a suspect BBC report .

It is probably a bit late to interview Tony Blair before he hands over the role of Prime Minister to his bestest mate Gordon Brown. What concerns me is what new excuse Tony Blair will use to wriggle out of being interviewed under caution once he is no longer PM.
