The return of St. Tony

What is it, do you suppose, that Tony Blair has learned in the five years since he ceased to be Prime Minister that would make him a better Prime Minister now? That the Brazilians speak Portuguese, perhaps — this was a fact apparently unknown to him hitherto. What else?

Blair has done an interview with Andrew Marr during which he said he would very much like another crack at leading our country, and that the last five years had been very useful and he’d learned lots of stuff which would enable him to do the job better. He also doled out the usual advice to the current Labour leader Ed Miliband, along the lines of:

‘Suck up to big business as much as you can and make sure you position the party in such a manner that an affluent bien pensant libtard arse living in Islington will always want to vote for it. Oh, and as soon as you achieve power, try to make sure you invade somewhere, illegally.’
