Blair postpones book party at Tate Modern
Former premier Tony Blair has postponed a party at the Tate Modern art gallery celebrating the launch of his autobiography because of threats from protesters, his office said on Wednesday. Anti-war demonstrators had planned to disrupt the reception on Wednesday evening and a group of celebrated artists including Tracey Emin and Vivienne Westwood had called on the gallery to cancel the "disgraceful" event. Blair has also been forced to cancel a signing session for "A Journey" at a bookstore in central London. "It has been postponed for the same reason as the book signing," a spokesman for Blair said.
