The G8 Wait

About Me

MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who waited here (and on Facebook, Flickr and YouTube) for a response from Tony Blair after the G8 Summit in Germany.

We wanted to hear what progress had been made on the promises to make poverty history in 2005.

What next? Put pressure on Gordon Brown to be bold in his first 100 days.
