When Tony Blair and George Bush meet at the White House for dinner today, they will be contemplating the beginning of the end of a relationship that has seen their policies dominate the world scene but which have left them weakened at home for their final years in office.
Comment: Tony is going to collect his Congressional Medal for joining in with Bush over Iraq. He has avoided it thus far for fear…on pretext of not having time!
Mr Blair will not be picking up the US congressional medal he was awarded for his support in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Do you think this has anything to do with me having caught Tony off the hop early this morning??
