Minister, 5 aides revolt against Blair By BETH GARDINER, Associated Press Writer 16 minutes ago LONDON - Six junior members of British Prime Minister Tony Blair's government resigned Wednesday to protest his refusal to set a date to leave office amid a growing Labour Party revolt. The rebellion flared despite strong hints by senior ministers that Blair planned to step down within a year, and a news report claiming the departure date would be July 26. "I no longer believe that your remaining in office is in the interest of either the party or the country," Tom Watson, who was minister for veterans in the Ministry of Defense, said in a letter to the prime minister. Five lawmakers who serve as unpaid aides to government ministers also quit their posts rather than remove their names from a letter demanding Blair set a timeframe for his departure.
