Tony Blair Reportedly Exits Race to Become First EU Minister
Tony Blair is out of the race to become the first President of the EU Council, Sky News reported.
Sky's political editor Adam Boulton said Gordon Brown had decided that support for the ex-PM was insufficient for him to back him at a meeting of EU leaders to decide the appointment this evening.
Brown will of course seek the appointment of U.S. President Barack Obama to be the first EU President.
