Westminster gossip suggested that Tony Blair might follow suit, just in case Brown was forced out. Not true, according to Blair aides. Although he's due to deliver his manuscript by the end of the year, he has not made much progress, they say. Blair, who toned down his wife's memoirs and Alastair Campbell's diaries to limit the damage to Brown, may feel he will be able to write a more honest account after Brown has left Downing Street.
