Tony Blair to resume acting career

Seems our Prime Minister has some plans for his retirement from politics. He's getting back to his acting career:

Tony Blair has agreed to resurrect his interest in acting when he leaves Number 10 after he was approached about a major stage role by his close friend, the artistic director of the Old Vic, Kevin Spacey, The Observer can reveal.

Good for Tony. I really enjoyed the Comic Relief sketch, he did really well. If only we could keep him harmlessly entertaining us, instead of starting wars. However perhaps he should wait until he's actually out of office:

One senior cabinet minister, who did not wish to be named, said: 'An ambassador arrived at Number 10 the other day to find Tony dressed like a Puritan, waving a crucifix in the air and shouting about chasing out the devil. Fortunately the ambassador had studied The Crucible at UCL.'

Good scoop by Pahli Tarikh and Primera Delmes.
