Blair speaks out

Tony Blair has said he does not think anyone in the Labour party has broken the rules over party funding, but refused to be drawn on whether he will be questioned by police.
He also defended Lord Levy, saying that he had done an excellent job as Middle East envoy.
In an interview with the BBC's Politics Show, Mr Blair made a strong defence of John Prescott. Attacking the media, he demanded to know what evidence there was against the DPM, and pointed out that planning issues ultimately rest with the Mayor of London.
Challenged over his own leaving date, he refused to speculate and committed himself to get on with the job. He also said that the public were not as interested in leadership elections as the media appear to be.
It was a robust performance from the PM. He seemed relaxed and in control. But he didn't say for sure whether he would be at the next G8 conference as PM.
