The Independent has a poll saying 51% of voters think Tony Blair should resign while 54% think he lied to the country about the threat Saddam Hussein posed, that the Tories are 1% more popular than Labour while he is in charge when, with Gordon Brown in the drivers seat Labour have that 1% lead instead. 68% meanwhile think the new intelligence inquiry is going to be a whitewash. However, in The Guardian, they report that most backbenchers still support Blair for taking the country to war. As Jim Hacker once pointed out backbenchers are more important than the public because while the public can only vote you out every five years backbenchers can get you out by the end of the week.
