Q) Guess who wants a second crack at being Prime Minister?

President Blairs!

Tony Blair has revealed he would like to be Prime Minister again. The former Labour premier, who left Downing Street in 2007, said he would now do a better job than during his ten years in power because of what he has learned since leaving frontline politics. Mr Blair has already confessed that he would like another big job, such as the Presidency of the European Council.

But this is the first time he has confessed he would like to return to No10. Mr Blair, now 59, admitted his prospects of a comeback – which would be the first since Harold Wilson reclaimed Downing Street in 1974 after losing a general election in 1970 – were ‘not very likely’.

But his determination to return to the political fray is a headache for Labour leader Ed Miliband, who will be concerned that he will be overshadowed by Mr Blair. In an interview with the London Evening Standard: ‘I am seeing a lot of the world and I have learned an immense amount in the past five years. ‘One of my regrets is that what I have learned in the last five years would have been so useful to me [as Prime Minister]. Because when you see how the world is developing you get a far clearer picture of some of the issues our country is grappling with.’ Asked directly if he would do the job again, he said: ‘Yes, sure, but it’s not likely to happen is it.’

Mr Blair also said Gordon Brown had condemned Labour to defeat by ditching the New Labour policies that got him elected three times. He accused Mr Brown of having him ‘forced out’ of power, saying he would have liked to have stayed in the job but left to avoid a ‘bloody battle’ with Mr Brown’s supporters. Looking back to the day of his resignation, he said: 'I didn’t want to go but I felt that I had to. 'The only choice would have been to have fought a very bloody battle internally which I thought would damage the country as well as the party.'

The fact that he didn't actually want to quit but did so because he feared a fight with Brown indicates he wasn't such a strong character. Maybe this explains why he was so influenced by George W. Bush on policy.

Who's responsible for taking our country into war against Iraq, on the grounds that they had Weapons of Mass Destruction ready to be fired at us within 45 minutes?

I thought that was a dick joke.

I honestly thought Blair was generally a banana split, but Brown was a pretty good PM, for all of the 10 minutes we had him.

I didn't spot it but now you point it out that is actually a little bit of genius. Random, but brilliant!

I'm reading his autobiography at the minute - He seems a decent guy - If not a bit serious.

On the plus side, at least he wouldn't have Dubya to tell him what to do influence him.

[Turboman]

ABE (anyone but Ed)

[Vermin]

I tell you, I wouldn't mind having a crack at that Tony Blairs.

[Ironhide]

I'd probbly vote for him again.

[Wedgie]

To be fair he's better than Brown and whatever the current labour leader name is. Millband?

Seems not be on the news a lot.

Not in a million years will this happen.
