Tony Blair decreed last night that David Blunkett's mishandling of his backbench business career was a mistake and not a "deliberate flouting" of the rules for which he ought to resign.

Does Tony Blair ever get anything right?

In the Commons today, Tony Blair has paid tribute to Mr Blunkett, describing him as a "decent and honourable man".

Is this the same Mr Blunkett who messes around with other men's wives?

Notice he hasn't tried it on with Cherie though. Mind you, he is blind, not sick.
