Is Blair on the Run?
Guido understands that Yates of the Yard is indeed interested in speaking to the PM.The PM is of course a very busy man, working on his tan in Barbados. The PMS was characteristically evasive with the Lobby at the last briefing as to when Tony would be back from his hols. There was however a hint that he will be off to save the Middle East when he returns. So the question on Guido's mind - Is Blair on the Run?
He doesn't even have time to iron his shirts nowadays.

Incidentally, there is a rumour going around that Tony will give a strong hint as to his exit timetable in his speech to the Lord Sainsbury-funded Progress gang of Blairite holdouts at their annual conference on September 9th. Guido isn't betting on an early exit.

I think Tony should stay as long as possible but, very sadly, I think he will go this autumn.
Never mind Tony in another crumpled chirt, just saw Caroline Flint on TV banging on about everyone getting more exercise, was most impressed with the size of her chest. Do you have any pix?
That's not a crumpled shirt it's one straight out of the packet.
Is the PM legally immune from prosecution as long as he's PM? Or can Inspector Knacker collar him in Downing Street?
Just wondering if that Connaught Square house is on the market yet? When it is, that'll be a putative sign of his impending long-term transatlantic absence.
Dear Javelin,
I fear that you are suffering from an acute case of nanoblair. May I, respectfully, suggest you visit your General Practioner and ask for an early brain scan. My fear being that your brain has been invaded by 'nanoblairs' which, in effect, make the invaded brain believe that Tony Blair is wonderful. Sadly you can see daily manifestations of this disease...amongst Labour Cabinet Ministers, many former cabinet ministers and all the BBC
personnel from top to bottom.
I am told the only remedy for a full recovery is to visit Lourdes and pray for divine intervention.
Dear Javelin I do wish you well.
I don't think the shirt is crumpled, I think it's the wires and cables showing through.
He's more machine now than man. Twisted and evil...
Strapworld. Just for your peace of mind.
I think Tony should stay as long as possible [because he is helping the Tories win the next election] but, very sadly, I think he will go this autumn [because a leftie will stand against him and Gordon will have to follow suit].
It looks like a brand new shirt, I hope he forgot to take the pins out.I agree with anonymous 11 03, more of Caroline Flint please. She could take me for a long walk preferably followed by an ear and tummy rub. Is Don Valley on the route between London and Hull?
Brand new or not the shirt is crumpled.
The thought of Prescott with his fat head between Ms Flint's gorgeous globes has quite put me off my toast.
Thing is strapworld, who would you rather be the PM? Brown? Reid? Cameron?
I think not...
I'm almost certain that JAVELIN is really fatboy prezza indulging in his phallic aspirations.
Looking a bit wrinkled there Princess...the shirt could do with a pressing as well.
I'm always suspicious of gentlemen who wear double-cuffed shirts during the day.
Damned bad form, old chap.
well, Cameron would do, I suppose...
...but personally I'm rooting for Oaten.
[ugh. 'rooting for Oaten', what a suggestive phrase. I feel quite sick]
Talking of Caroline Flint, have you noticed how her accent has gone from broad cockney to middle England in a couple of years? Pure Eliza Doolittle. Does she have lessons? I guess she must. I love the vanity.
The problem, for all those perving over Ms Flint, is that she's the worst sort of hectoring, "nanny knows best" kind of leftie.
You'd be able to stand her for about 5 minutes before you wanted to kill her, gorgeous tits or not.
Unless, of course, you could persuade her to shut up and suck harder.
One photo with Rosie.

towcestarian - How do you keep your cuffs together then? I can't believe you wear collar attached shirts. Do you? The mark of a cad like owning an Italian gun.
A bit of a Rebekah Wade moment there, Guido... that photo is at least three years old.

A bit ironic given the way Tone slips into mockney whenever he`s on tv chat shows.Actually having seen Britain`s most popular man topless in one of the tabloids "his and her flowery swimming shorts" features,Daves,unusually similar, being the "his" and the lovely Ms Flint I have to ask whether anyone has actually seen "them" both in the same room? The more I look,the more I`m convinced,Tony Blair IS Caroline Flint,another Guido exclusive.

As is John Prescott,hard to believe given the average 3 year-olds superior vocabulary and eloquence I know,but true.
A quick Google Image search for Ms Flint reveals only low-def small size pix. These globes of great repute doubtless deserve better treatment. Can we trust Guido to spin his spider web of hackery and come up with some better, preferably bikini, pix?
It will give Tony something to think about as he nervously brushes up on his PACE Code C.
Flint-pervs, watch out!
Quote from her Web site:
Caroline Flint has been Minister of State for Public Health since May 2006. Her ministerial responsibilities include health inequalities; drug and alcohol misuse; tobacco; physical activity; diet and nutrition; communicable diseases and sexual health.
Spreading alcohol misuse and the consumption of tobacco are OK by me, but notice the last bit about communicable diseases.
Anyway I think she's a bit of a dog. My girl-friend's much better-looking. Also she's not an apparatchik.
I thought Reid's Big Lie the other day was the beginning of a coup (and still do).
ah yessss, ms flint....she is certainly a dis.traction!
back to more "serious" matters though. with Mr Brown in hiding, Mr Reid glowing, and Mr Cameron needing a bit of "roughing" up.....Mr Blair thankfully is going nowhere...well, not atleast until after the Olympics....yes, that does mean that the young Mr Cameron has yet to lose 2 elections...real one's this time!
Guido - Since blogs didn't exist then I think you should do spoof posts on some names from the past when they were in trouble (eg Wilson, Home etc) and give a prize for the best comments. Interesting though the globes probably are, would it not be a change to deal with some real politicians instead of the present shower?
If John (Reid) wasn't Scottish he would give Gordon and David a run for thier money.
Sadly for both John and Gordon they and the Labour Party are about to be frozen out of English politics.
I predict one will hand over to an opposition-leader, who will hand over to another opposition-leader who will merge Labour and the Lib-Dems to gain power back in England as a new Party called the Democratic Labour Party.
I have to say I thought she looked rather haggard and gap-toothed on the news this afternoon. If being healthy and fit gives you that slightly cadaverous look, then I'm glad of my extra few pounds.
A quick message for John and Gordon. "Go North and prepaer for Government."
Daytime: blue, single-cuff, buttoned.
Evening: white, double-cuff, linked (chain not bar).
Starched collars should be left to the Royals (and anyone else with a valet to fix the studs).
August still has over a week to run, friends.
"Unless, of course, you could persuade her to shut up and suck harder."
Thanks ID. That just about says it all about the Conservative Party's new approach to women. Oh, and it also says that you are a reprehensible skid mark on the kegs of political participation.
will merge Labour and the Lib-Dems to gain power back in England as a new Party called the Democratic Labour Party
Like fuck will they.
Double cuffs mean fewer buttons to get knocked off by the washing machine. Just saves the staff's time.
Now I look at that photo again it makes Anthony look like he is getting somebody's autograph and leaning into the shot with the celebrity, who is the man with the pen?
anybody know?
What a cunt

"Thanks ID. That just about says it all about the Conservative Party's new approach to women."
Is this the Conservative Party?
Shit I thought it was Labour, Prezza really knows how to treat women - Fuck 'em then fuck 'em off.
I have noticed a trend towards French (yes, double) cuffs in the daytime. I have to admit to a penchant myself, as they do look so much better with a suit. But the stuffiest of stuffy tailoring pedants will still turn their nose up. However, single cuffs are horrid.
The only solution, as any tailor will tell you (as he gropes your vitals in such a diffident way that you can't quite complain), is double turnback cuffs from Turnbull & Asser, as favoured by Mr Fleming (the spying & snobbery one, not the mould & medicine chap).
Mr Pedant, sir.
The mark of a cad is a Windsor knot; whilst a penchant for Italian guns (or Italian anything for that matter) merely shows the appreciation of style over functionality.
"Shirts - collar attached" are generally acceptable, provided they are not of the David Steele white-collar/dark blue shirt variety. Maybe it is this quite frankly bizarre sartorial abberation that you find caddish.
Finally, I recommend you buy your domestic staff a Miele washing machine. This is unlikely to have the cuff-button mangling attributes of the (probably Italian designed) appliance they currently have to use.
Sorry, Chaps and Girls,
Ann Widdecombe for me any old dayor, at a pinch, Mrs Bottomley?
Javelin dear boy...the Lord works in mysterious ways! However notice that you are suffering from a little bit of Prescotitis. Your words are getting jumbled...the cure? silence for a week.
Bet Levy won't be back in the UK until after Labour party conference.
Anyone running a book on Knacker of the Yard actually getting to Tony?
St Toni of B-Liar has Crown Immunity doesn't he?
P'raps it's Tone giving an autograph (at a guess, opening a new hospital?) and the chap with the pen is Tony's official autographer. Can't expect him to do his own signature.
This site is rapidly turning into an Hustler version of the Chap magazine.
I approve.
Towcestarian. A pleasure to gently cross swords with you, Sir. I feel it would be wrong to bore others by prolonging this exchange (I do not fully agree with you, except about the Windsor knot and the David Steele shirts) but I hope for the chance of another gentle run-in soon.
Bing dear boy,
No stretching to the top shelf either!!
Is that a spot of herpes on Tone's lower lip. How did it get there?
The Scouse scrubber bought the shirt on appro but returned it the following day claiming it was not fit for purpose.
I may be female, but I'm in agreement with ID. I'd happily tell the delectable but deluded Peter Hain to shut up and put his tongue to work elsewhere.
Interesting...does Levy's bail allow him to leave the country ???
One can almost hear Sir Tone, as he jets between party conference and Baghdad, between downing street and Jerusalem... clutching a small text..
"I see Bar Mitzvahs in Baghdad, I see muslims mingling with the Rabbis of Haifa.
I see freedom and democracy trickling across the desert sands, bringing peace and.....Terrorists, everywhere, challenging our way of life, and opening second rate dry cleaners, with new labour, at the forefront of our policies, and terrorists, extremists, with the N.H.S. you are safe... until the terrorists will not defeat our policies..
Flint sounded a true Blair Babe automaton on Today this morning: slightly hysterical under questioning, unable to speak in joined-up writing, glottal stop fully operational. Blather, blather, till Widdecombe, Gawd bless 'er, did for her in one pithy question about waste of bloody money. (She didn't say 'bloody', of course, though I bet she wanted to.) Flint huffed and puffed but the anchor skewered her for an answer which, when it came, was void of content. Good looking girlie, though. Wonder how she got the job?

Same way as the elusive,and fragrant,Alison Seabeck M.P. for...........go on Ali stop and think for a minute you`ll get there eventually.These are Ali`s qualifications if it`s any help.
1.She`s a woman
2.She looks good in the press handouts,election material e.t.c.
3.She does what she`s told when she`s told
4.She`s economical,expensive trips to the Westcountry are rare and limited to photo-oppertunities with local primary school kids
5.That fat bloke who`s run the city council is kept from airing some his more rebellious statements to a greater audience,until Ali was parachuted in locals were looking forward to having someone who`s truly passionate about his home city as M.P. as were the local Labour party activists.This being a democracy the attitude was "bollocks to them,we`re not wasting one of the safest seats in the country on someone the plebs want and even Prescott wouldn`t shag"
Ali,we love you really,drop in and see us sometime,we`re right of the blue bit between Devon and Cornwall.You might also like to do some research and answer a few of the worries locals have about more hushed up radiation leaks from the Dockyard,Gary Streeter`s doing a fine job doing that and it`s not even his constituency,he`s a Tory as we so dont be suprised if there`s a shock result in the next General Election because people are getting mightily pissed off with you.
The shirt cannot be from Jermyn Street. It even may be a polycotton mix. Oh God.

I thought Jermyn Street was a Chinese brand label...........
fruning graplecard - you're right. It's just out of the box (how COULD his valet?),it's not bespoke AND, worst of all, it's some funny chemical fibre.

I wonder how many Guido-ites will soon be chatting to Yates of the Yard for their comments about Blair's attire?
The post on the BNP website is interesting. Sartorial insolence should never give rise to violence however appallingly the offender is dressed. TB's sartorial indiscretions may annoy, but they are as nothing compared with the late Home Secretary's.
Tony wont go, Iran has started to heat up on the diplomatic front, by th end of the year we could have another Cuba as in Cuban Missile Crisis, blockade of Iran and then of course we would need Tony for all of 2007 then we have North Korea!
