Howard Will Retire Soon

Howard Told By Tory Central Office: "You've Had Your Chance Now Bugger Off" Tory Central Office say they have sent the official letter telling their leader to 'piss off' today. Traditionally the Tory Party wait a week after defeat before stabbing their leader in the back, but this time it came within 5 minutes of Tony Blair being told he had won. In the letter, Michael Howard was 'thanked' for this work but 'we regret to advise that you will be laughably too old were we to win next time.' Michael Howard would be 72 at the end of his first term as Prime Minister were the Tory's to win next time. Michael Howard is old enough to be Charles Kennedy's Dad. 6 May
