Blair, still spinning!

I was quite surprised to read this story on Iain Dale's Diary.

A quick Google search found proof of the allegation.

I saw a lot of the coverage of Blair's resignation speech with a lot of knowledgeable commentators, nobody else highlighted this at the time - why not? Most of the reporters and pundits simply referred to them as constituents.

Interesting to see Blair is still spinning in the dying days of his Premiership.

I guess I shouldn't really be surprised but you'd have thought he'd have learnt the lesson by now.

Blair to announce his next move

BBC:

Tony Blair will "make an announcement" on his future as Labour leader on Thursday, Downing Street has confirmed.

Mr Blair will tell Cabinet colleagues of his intentions on Thursday morning, before making his plans public in a speech in his Sedgefield constituency.

Party sources have told me that he will walk on water, feed the 5,000 and turn water in to wine.

At some point he will also tell us that he's finally going.

Ok Blair, begone. Don't let the door hit you on the arse as you leave.

Is Blair bovvered?

I wonder if this is how his interview about Cash for Honours went.

Blair: The Inside Story

Tonight, 21:00, BBC 2:

The final part of Michael Cockerell's series tells the inside story of Tony Blair's final years in office. It is a period dominated by a range of crises: Blair's heart problems, his troubles with Gordon Brown, the aftermath of Iraq, the plots to overthrow him, cash for honours allegations and endless questions about when he would leave Number 10.

Followed by the Ten O'Clock News & Newsnight.

Mr Blair, the sand in your hourglass is getting dangerously low.
