THE LAST PRINT SCOOP?

In a front-page exclusive The Sun reports that Tony Blair will resign as Labour leader on May 31 next year, before stepping down as Prime Minister on July 26, 2007.

George Pascoe-Watson, political editor of The Sun, told Britain's Sky News television he would not disclose the sources of the story, and said only that his newspaper's previous predictions on the date of elections had been "absolutely bang on the money."

The Sun has previously made accurate predictions about the timing of general elections, widely suspected to have been based on inside information from Mr Blair's inner circle.

This is a brilliant scoop against all the print and online media.

As soon as the printing presses of The Sun stopped tonight to change the front page, the BBC, Sky News and all the British media realized that they have been scooped by the Murdoch tabloid.

A fantastic news that The Sun online did not break while the printing presses started to roll again in order to control the details about this exclusive story.

Well, we are perhaps seeing one of the last print newspaper scoops in history.
