Tony Blair is to fly home from his holiday in Egypt today following mounting criticism about his decision to remain in a Red Sea resort after the tsunami disaster. The Prime Minister's decision came as politicians attacked him for not flying back from Sharm el-Sheikh last week to direct Britain's response to the catastrophe.

Yesterday the Tory leader Michael Howard said on BBC1: "I think if I had been in his position, I would have come back. Other leaders have. But everybody has got to make their own decisions about this and do these things in their own way."
