The strange thing about Tony Blair's Christmas card is how the teeth seem to follow you round the room.

I wish I was in a relationship right now purely so we could recreate Tony Blair's Christmas card.

Did the queen cut him off from receiving his annuity check?

Tony Blair gives Kazakhstan’s autocratic president tips on how to defend a massacre

Tony Blair gave Kazakhstan’s autocratic president advice on how to manage his image after the slaughter of unarmed civilians protesting against his regime.

In a letter to Nursultan Nazarbayev, obtained by The Telegraph, Mr Blair told the Kazakh president that the deaths of 14 protesters “tragic though they were, should not obscure the enormous progress” his country had made.

Mr Blair, who is paid millions of pounds a year to give advice to Mr Nazarbayev, goes on to suggest key passages to insert into a speech the president was giving at the University of Cambridge, to defend the action.

3. Now the other day someone mistook the wax version of Prince Andrew for the real thing.

Is it possible that is the case here. Perhaps he was unavailable so they popped down to Madame Tussauds?

Cherie looks reasonably content, all things considered.

Rupert, though, is miserable...!!!!

13. Someone needs to tell Tony Blair

For a Christmas card, you should NEVER use a photo taken while your wife is giving you a prostate exam.

22. The thing I don't get...

....is why so many politicians think it's acceptable to send pictures of yourselves as Christmas cards. These people really do need to be reminded that Christmas is not all about themselves.

Mind you, as my old man used to say, "show me a politician and I'll show you a man with his house full of mirrors".

[DFW]

24. My grandfather was no politician, but

He DID send out the greatest Christmas card ever.

He was 99 years old, had a photo of himself, looking very much his age.

The caption: "Compliments of the Seasoned"
