Blair faces quit call in backbench backlash
2004-07-17
Three Labour MPs called on Tony Blair to stand down as Prime Minister yesterday after the party lost the safe seat of Leicester South in Thursday's by-election and came within a whisker of a humiliating defeat in Birmingham Hodge Hill. Mr Blair, who clocks up 10 years as Labour leader next Wednesday, took comfort from the Tories' embarrassing third place in both contests, and allies insisted he would lead the party into the next general election. But one aide conceded: "We have suffered some damage; it's been an uncomfortable week."
