But apart from appearing outside Downing Street with celebrities Gary Barlow, Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh, who climbed Kilimanjaro to raise money for Comic Relief – and announcing £2m towards fighting malaria – what has Gordon Brown done this Red Nose Day? His predecessor, Tony Blair, set the bar high with a guest appearance in Ca...

Tony Blair and Formula 1, a link that is a bit odd really. Until you learn of the massive corruption that has been under reported. And this is what really fucks me off about the whole thing.

Tony Blair was right about Gordon Brown. Today we have confirmation of the bitterness and disagreements at the top of the Blair government. All that spinning and all those stories turn out to have been well founded. Tony Blair was wrong about the Middle East. He still thinks there are military solutions to Middle Eastern
