It happened because if he did not step down then his party would lose control.
If Tony Blair remained in power then there were enough votes in Parliament to call for a vote of no confidence and force another election. Then with current public attitude against the war and the currently ruling party they would lose the election and so lose power.
It is not a Public Relations stunt, but a progression in politics that allows the current party to claim that they have responded to the people's demand in a change of Iraq policy. The Prime Minister that got them into the war is now only a bench minister. Tony Blair did not resign from office, merely from being Prime Minister.

Libs are still in Power in Great Britain.
And to answer your question: Tony B, stepped down over a month ago.
Gordon Brown now lives in number 10 Downing Street.
Cheers!

its much like dan said
but tony promised
just like john howard promised
only unlike john tony keeps his promise [to his mates and masters ;not voters[of course]
yes it is a clever stunt [as long as brown fullfills tonys good promises , not his evil ones ]
brown could do a tony but it is hoped he will fullfill his domestic adjenda not tonies international one
