Not really “politics” but interesting, BBC NEWS Lord Levy has told the BBC he thinks Tony Blair should consider whether to continue his job as an envoy for the Middle East Quartet.
The former prime minister's ally said he should examine if he had "the time and tools" to help the peace process.
Tony obviously has the time, but the interesting bit is “the tools”, does he think that our Tone doesn’t have the diplomatic skills or the intellect to make any difference?
It must be nice to have friends like “Lord” Levy.

Just a thought, but if Tone were to find some of those boxes to be tick-free, might it not facilitate an eventual return to his former role as UK grinner-in-chief? Particularly now that his arch-rival has so ably demonstrated his own incompetence, and his old ally Lord Custard is once more firmly entrenched in the ship of state?
A gradual withdrawal round about now, initially telegraphed by old friends like Levy, would be just about right for him to return in a blaze of glory in time for the next general election.
