You can visualise the scene, jaded retired popstar who wants to give it one last time, one last gig and one last comeback. Well, seems you can apply that scenario to a jaded warmongering former PM. Yes, Blair is back… ready to do battle with the Tories. Oh joy, the election is saved, all bow to the supreme saviour that is Tony Blair! But the question is, will it work? Will having Blair on board bolster Labour’s chances of outright victory or is it still the stark reality of a hung parliament or worst still a Tory government? Yes, Tony Blair the self-serving warmongering architect of NL… the greedy grasping liar who makes his money through private enterprise and makes a lot of it as well….will this backfire….? Will this strategy repel Labour’s core voters? And has there been a ceasefire called between the Blairite and Brownite factions.
Oh, and whatever happened to the Blairites? Well, Blair needs a sycophantic backing band. And I am desperate to say, ‘Taxi for Byers’…. James Purnell is retraining as a community organiser…..(who’d have thunk it!)… David Blunkett sending begging letters to LP members asking for cash… David Miliband with his big leader ambitions…. and well, you can see the rest of the bland nondescript clone sad Blairites. Oh, and am also desperate to use my favourite Tessa phrase, ‘cheek by jowell’… Ha! Said it now!!
Will the Labour Party still be laughing when Blair invoices it for services he provided to it during the 2010 election?
