Blair in 'intense' last-minute Olympic lobbying

British Prime Minister Tony Blair will leave Singapore tonight after two “very, very intense days” of talks with International Olympic Committee delegates believing “it’s all to play for” in London’s 2012 bid for the games.

Mr Blair’s official spokesman said of the frantic 48-hour charm offensive by both Mr Blair and his wife Cherie: “It has been two very, very intense days for the Prime Minister, seeing people constantly.”
