Europe Presidency

Asked for an update on the EU Presidency and the position of Tony Blair and David Miliband, the PMS said again that the Prime Minister continued to support Tony Blair; that he would campaign for his candidacy, but that Tony Blair had not yet made his views known. As the Prime Minister talked to his European counterparts he continued to impress on them the merits of a Tony Blair candidacy. The Foreign Secretary had made his position clear.

No way Miliband will do it. We need him as foreign secretary and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that he may be fighting a leadership battle in the near future.

This is not a way of contacting the Prime Minister. If you would like to contact the Prime Minister, go to the 10 Downing Street official site.
