At the time of typing this, he has not given a date,but this is what he had to say a while ago:
Prime Minister Tony Blair has confirmed he would leave office within 12 months, but refused to name a precise departure date.
Mr Blair said: "I would have preferred to do this in my own way - but the next party conference in the next couple of weeks will be my last party conference as party leader.
"The next TUC will be my last TUC."
Mr Blair, speaking at a school in north west London, told the Press Association: "I'm not going to set a precise date now. I don't think that's right. I will do that at a future date and I will do that in the interests of the country."
He went on: "I think it's important for the Labour Party to understand that it's the public that comes first and it's the country that matters and we can't treat the country as an irrelevant bystander in a matter as important as who their Prime Minister should be."
Mr Blair, looking relaxed, said: "The first thing I'd like to do is to apologise actually on behalf of the Labour Party for the last week which with everything that's going on and in the world has not been our finest hour to be frank.
"I think what's important now is that we understand that it's the interests of the country that come first and move on."
The Prime Minister added: "I think it's important we get on with the business."
Mr Blair was speaking during a visit to the Quinton Kynaston School in St John's Wood.

Not soon enough as far as I am concerned.
Another concern of mine is if Gordon Brown is to replace Tony then who will be the next chancellor?
We have been led to believe that Gordon is the best chancellor this country has ever had, so will the country go further downhill when he is replaced by some other dork?
As for the party that is running the country, I don't think it really matters who is in power as one is as bad as the other, and those elected are simply getting on the band-waggon for the high salaries and perks.

Well, he just said this conference is his last. Hopefully he does not change his mind. Looking forward to Georgie to do the same very quickly.

Well, he's saying within the next 12months, but more likely when they push him out.
