| Description | A day after he announced he would step down in June, British Prime Minister Tony Blair formally endorsed Finance Minister Gordon Brown as his successor.
"I am absolutely delighted to give my full support to Gordon as the next leader of the Labour Party and prime minister and to endorse him fully," Blair told reporters on Friday.
Friday's announcement marked the first time he directly supported Brown's bid.
"I think he has got what it takes to lead the Labour Party and indeed the country with distinction. He's an extraordinary and rare talent and it is tremendous if it is put at the service of the nation as it now can be." |
