"If Blair remains in office until 27 November 2008, he would surpass Margaret Thatcher as the longest continuously serving Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool, 1812-27.
On 22 August 2005, the Sunday Mirror [38] suggested Blair would join the Carlyle Group upon leaving Number Ten. The chairman of Carlyle is Lou Gerstner, whom Blair personally recommended for a knighthood in 2001[39].
Blair has said that after stepping down as Prime Minister, he plans to leave front-line politics and does not intend to take a seat in the House of Lords, commenting that it is, "...not my scene". [40] There have been rumours in the British press that Blair will stand for the position of United Nations Secretary-General when Kofi Annan steps down on 31 December 2006. [41] Former US President Bill Clinton, in an interview, said he believed Blair would be a good secretary-general.[42]
It was reported on 30 July 2006 that Blair has shaken hands on a £4m deal for his diaries with a publishing firm owned by Rupert Murdoch.[43]
On 5 September 2006 a letter signed by 17 Labour MPs called for Tony Blair to resign. On the same day 49 other Labour MPs signed a statement supporting Blair's departure timetable [44]. The next day The Sun reported that Blair would step down as Labour leader on May 31, 2007, and as Prime Minister when a new leader is elected. That same day, seven of the MPs who signed the letter resigned as Parliamentary Private Secretaries (unpaid and unofficial posts assisting Government ministers)."
