Tony Blair will end his exile from British politics at the next general election to "fight hard for Labour" in its toughest battle for almost 20 years. Downing Street figures expect the former Prime Minister to be asked to campaign in marginal seats where his appeal to "aspirational voters", those whom Gordon Brown has struggled to reach, will matter most. Mr Blair's presence would also help to counter Conservative claims that the Tories are now the heirs to his progressive agenda. A Downing Street spokesman said that his precise role had not been settled but added: "We look forward to his support at the next election."
