  • The Premiership of Tony Blair began on 2 May 1997 and ended on 27 June 2007. While serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Blair concurrently served as the First Lord of the Treasury, the Minister for the Civil Service, the Leader of the Labour Party (until Gordon Brown was declared Labour leader on 24 June 2007), and a Member of Parliament for the constituency of Sedgefield in County Durham. He remains a Privy Counsellor having first been appointed in July 1994 when he became Leader of the Opposition. Blair is the Labour Party's longest-serving Prime Minister, and having led the party to three consecutive general election victories, the only Labour prime minister to serve two full consecutive terms. Blair is both credited with and criticised for moving the Labour Party towards the centre of British politics, using the term "New Labour" to distinguish his pro-market policies from the more collectivist policies which the party had espoused in the past. In domestic government policy, Blair significantly increased public spending on health and education while also introducing controversial market-based reforms in these areas. In addition Blair's tenure saw the introduction of a minimum wage, tuition fees for higher education, constitutional reform such as devolution in Scotland and Wales, and progress in the Northern Ireland peace process. The British economy performed well and the real incomes of Britons grew 18 per cent during 1997-2006. Blair kept to Conservative commitments not to increase income tax in the first term although rates of Employee's National Insurance were increased. Blair strongly supported US foreign policy, notably by participating in the invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. On 7 September 2006 Blair publicly stated he would step down as party leader by the time of the TUC conference in September 2007. On 10 May 2007 he announced his intention to resign as Prime Minister on 27 June 2007.
  • 貝理雅是20世紀英國第一個在職首相在唐寧街生子育兒。1998年12月26日貝理雅成為第一位在愛爾蘭議會發表演說的英國首相。 在2001年英國大選中，工黨再度保持了其前所未有的巨大優勢，貝理雅成為第一位贏得第二任的工党首相。保守黨領袖威廉·黑格（William Hague）辭職，他是自1920年代奧斯丁·張伯倫以來第一位沒有成為首相的保守黨領袖。 在911事件後，貝理雅很快地宣佈與美國站在一起，在阿富汗戰爭之前他參與了一系列穿梭外交，幫助鞏固了國際反恐聯盟。直到今天他依然扮演著這個角色，訪問了許多其他國家領導人可能認為太危險的國家。
