Amongst the new and nearly-new headlines about -
- the Information Commissioner's ruling that the government must publish the 'gateway reviews' of the identity scheme decision-making process, and
- revised figures which raise the projected cost of the ID Cards scheme from £4.91bn to £5.31bn (or £5.55bn, depending who you listen to),
you may have missed the announcement that Tony Blair is to resign. Actually, he's not resigning, according to a Downing Street spokesperson yesterday. He is "setting in motion a chain of events which will culminate in the appointment of his successor". Not resigning.
There, there, semantics. The pain and mauling might stop soon. About June 27th, if you're lucky. Now that would be a great day to bury bad news. Gordon - I'd start giving it some thought now, if I were you.
