LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM : A video grab of Prime Minister Tony Blair talking to the House of Commons during Prime Ministers' Questions in London, Wednesday, 26 February, 2003. British MPs were set Wednesday to debate Prime Minister Tony Blair's hardline stance on Iraq, exposing him to what could be the biggest backbench revolt within his Labour party since it power in 1997. According to press reports, more than 100 lawmakers, including some 80 Labour MPs, will vote against or abstain from a government motion calling on Iraq to take "its final opportunity" to disarm. Right behind Blair sits foreign minister Jack Straw. (KEYSTONE/EPA PHOTO/PA/STR) === UK OUT, NO MAGS, , , INTERNET OUT ===
