Blair quashes talk of calling it quits |
2006-07-17 |
![]() But Blair, at the annual summit of the Group of Eight industrialised democracies in Saint Petersburg, gave his strongest indication yet that he intends to stay in office for at least another year. He said he did not want a "great bout of speculation" about his departure timetable. "I'm not sitting there, you know, obsessing the entire time about when the precise date is and all the rest of it," he told BBC television on Sunday. "I've made it clear all the way through, I'll carry on doing the job. And so I look forward to next year's G8 of course, but in the end the most important thing is to do the job," he added. |
