Blair blames MPs for parliament defeat
In a bid to excuse his lofty and uncompromising approach to the abolition of civil liberties Tony Blair has blamed MPs for his commons defeat, claiming that they are 'out of touch'. Pot, kettle, black?
Within the context of today's newspaper headlines Blair's behaviour seems frankly embarrassing. With the media's propensity to overplay just about anything most people would have taken the "beginning of the end" stuff with a pinch of salt.
However, with the Fuhrer now turning on his generals and seemingly losing his already tenuous grip on rationality; are the papers closer to the truth than they realise? One thing is for sure: there's blood in the water, but are there any sharks about?

In fairness, he has put a lot of emphasis on how he appears in the media. Some would say, more than on actual politics, though the two seem to be one and the same these days. So if he didn't take the media seriously all the time, then it would be pretty inconsistent.
I'm already beginning to think what a good Prime Minister that nice Mr Brown would make.
