In a series of media
interviews, ex-Home Secretary Clarke, previously a strong Blair
ally, voiced his anger at being sacked. Clarke claims that Blair
has lost direction and should either recover it or hand over
to the next man, probably Brown. Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett
also urged Mr Blair and Gordon Brown to ensure a smooth transition
of power. Pressed to say whether she believed Mr Blair and Mr
Brown could carry out the smooth transition the Labour Party
wanted, Mrs Beckett replied: "I think they can do that.
I certainly hope they will do that." It seems everybody
wants him to hand over the baton, even pointing him in the right
direction to do so.
