letter to Tony Blair

Dear Tony

I am writing to ask you to resign now as leader of the Labour Party, and as Prime Minister.

The war in Iraq has been a very grave mistake and to continue with your policy is wrong. You are identified completely with this policy. It is impossible to see how you could now change, and your position as Prime Minister clearly blocks the way to a better policy, where British and American troops are withdrawn. A new leader of the party and Prime Minister would be better able to put in place the policy of peace, and of British and American disengagement from Iraq which is urgently needed.

I believe your resignation now would have the support of the greater part of the Labour Party and of the people of Britain - and indeed of most nations.

Yours sincerely



Malcolm Burns
