UK's Blair set to announce Thursday when resigning

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, ending a decade in power with a legacy soured by scandal and the Iraq war, is expected to set a date for his resignation on Thursday.
Winner of three national elections including his first landslide victory in 1997, Blair is expected to stay on as prime minister and Labour Party leader until a successor takes over in late June or early July.
Finance Minister Gordon Brown, with whom Blair has had a close but uneasy relationship, appears certain to win a seven-week Labour Party leadership contest and serve as prime minister until the next election.
Blair will make an announcement on Thursday about his position as Labour Party leader, his spokesman said.
He stressed Blair was not actually resigning as party leader and would remain prime minister for some time after the announcement. "Tomorrow is about setting out his intentions," he told reporters.
Blair is Labour's most successful leader, overseeing a growing economy, significantly hiking spending in healthcare, education and other services and working to end three decades of conflict in Northern Ireland.
But those victories are overshadowed by party funding scandals and the war in Iraq. With his popularity falling, he was forced by a Labour rebellion in September to say he would step down within a year.
In elections last week Labour lost its position as the biggest party in the Scottish parliament to nationalists seeking independence from Britain.
