Cherie Blair don't go away mad, JUST GO AWAY!

Do you seriously think there is a major difference between the 2 main parties? They compete for the same votes (the middle classes) Labour is no longer the champion of the working classes. Change is needed and labour have become stale.

Sean Lanigan, London,

Has anybody watched the "Spitting Image" replacement "Headcases" It shows exactly how Tony Blair is advising Gordon.

Chonts, London,

If it is true that Gordon Brown has been taking Blair's advice that would explain why everything is going pear shaped for this country. Gordon Brown should be more careful who he takes advice from.

Barbara , Staffordshire, England

Many people forget the mess, this country was in when Tony took over from John Major. Under Labour, Britain has prospered compared to the Thather and Major years. That being said, the current climate has even got even me hating Labour.

Jessica, Coventry , United Kingdom

Gordon Brown has been shown up to be a bully who knows no boundaries to getting his own way, as chancellor he showed no mercy with his abolition of the 10p tax rate and the duty on fuel, why should the electorate show him any mercy now he fears for his job. He only married to get the PM post

Alan Woodward, Oxford, England

What's going on with all you people who don't live in Britiain raving on about Blair being a great man? You do not know the reality that is Britain now (Note that "Great" Britain is a thing of the past). Britain is crap. Come and live here for a while and see for yourself.

Paula, East Yorkshire, England

Why is there always a mention of 'legacies'? Any man or woman that is motivated in power to create a legacy is not fit to be in power. Leadership is not a platform to create legacies.

A. Craig, Harrogate, U.K.

Yawn.

Steve , Argyll,

Could it be that the only thing less sincere than a politician trying to sell a book should be a politician's wife trying to flog one?

Steve Buckel, Braunau-am-Inn, Austria

" Tony Blair is advising Gordon Brown", he's doing a good job of it then eh.

preddo53, leeds, UK

Who cares about private conversations between Mr.Blair and Mr.Brown? What concerns me is that our P.M's e-mail facility at the No 10 web-site worked reasonably well under Mr.Blairs leadership and now it doesn't work at all, in my experience. How can the P.M benefit from my submissions to his Office?

Mrs.Josephine Hyde-Hartley, Bacup, UK

The words strong, powerful and intelligent are not usually associated with Tony Blair. This book is aimed at the niave US market who hangs on his every word and pays him USD200k for speaking for 30 minutes. If you love him that much, have him.

John, London, UK

I don't think Cherie Blair will gain any supporters for her actions, or sympathy for Tony Blair.In retrospect - I still wouldn't want him back - or her for that matter. If Gordon Brown is the underdog he certainly is being trounced on by so called 'friends' at the top - no love lost then obviously.

A Jones, UK, UK

Tony Blair was the best Prime Minister the UK had in the known history. Good luck to Gordon Brown.

I don't think Britain can afford conservative again in power in this modern era.

It's obvious that England is no longer an Empire because it can so easily dismiss great leaders like Tony Blair. Leaders with vision, intelligence, eloquence are pretty rare...rare enough that they should be treasured. Oh England, what has happened to you?

K B Mills, Austin, Texas, USA

i am a conservative republican american and have the greatest respect and admiration for tony blair. he is a truly selfless politician and leader. standing by his conviction for the good of the world above the politics of the day is truly a rare quality. right or wrong, or whatever history decides

scot, boston, usa

Hiya Jim , Florida. Its a pity George did not carry on cutting the Brush and left presidential work to others more qualified.

Dave Madley, Alicante, Spain

Politicians are like babies' diapers--they should be changed often and for the same reason.

Tom, Salinas, CA, USA

On other occasions, History decides who is a war criminal. Ask Pinochet. I hope Blair some day will be judged, too.

Albert, Spain,

History decides "greatness". It is our tragic fault. World Leaders who do great things are rarely judged "great" in their time. Thank you Tony Blair and George W. Bush for your "greatness" and leadership when the world had gone mad! ( R.J. Girandola: Author,The Jade Chalice, ISBN 1413721648)

rudolph Girandola, Allentown, United States

I think now is the time to make George W. Bush UK Prime Minister. Afterall, he is retiring soon, has lots of experience in running a country, and has nothing else worthwhile to do (except maybe cut some brush at the ranch). The perfect opportunity!

Jim, Florida, USA

Ironically, if Blair had only served the first term, he would have left e really good legacy. After that he brought the country into chaos and created a lapdog that is on par with colombia.

i only hope that Brown (although unlikely) can see that the UK's allegiance and future lies in Europe. not US

jaime, London, England

Tony blair was a great man in my oppinion, He did great thing's not always right but great. I don't think it is fair to go on about his friendly relationship with mr bush, I think it is great that our 2 countries get on so well better than being at war.. Mr brown is the wrong man for the Job.

Chris, leicester, leicestershire

If Tony Blair is advising Gordon Brown, it is no wonder that Gordon is in so much trouble. Tony Blair was the worst Prime Minister that Britain ever had with Margaret Thatcher being the second worst.

Peter Fordham, Pego, Spain

Pradip - you're probably right. Unfortunately, he will be remembered for the Iraq war more than all of the many many good things he did in the domestic sphere. He was the best leader Britain had in years IMO, even if the war was a terrible idea.

Chris, Leeds,

I guess I'm not that amazed that the international opinion of Blair is so glowing. But really this just shows a lack of knowledge or just plain ignorance. Pradip, many a leader/dictator "did what he believed to be right" but that doesn't mean to say that it is right.

Patrick, London, UK

If Blair has done anything about the 'radical Islam element' in our country Kathleen, other than antagonise it, I seem to have missed it. As for the rest, Blair's always seemed a rather weak man to me, preferring to listen to Mr Bush over his electorate.

Katie, Stoke-on-Trent, UK

The Labor Party is at an all time low in popularity It is not just because of Gordon Brown but the legacy of Tony Blair.

Tony Blair has been a great friend to the US so I am not surprised by Kathleen's perception of this man, my perception is that he has betrayed this great country.

Chris Sheppard, Plymouth, England

Kathleen. To correct your rose tinted view of Tony Blair. Far from being strong he was actually very weak, both in allowing himself to be manipulated by President Bush and in the way that he allowed Gordon Brown to push him around. The UK is a poorer place for his premiership in so many ways.

Pete jackson, London, UK

I think that we'd all be much better off if these self important politicians gave up messing with our lives and went and got productive jobs

richard mullens, London, Europe

Those of us in England just your average citizens, who live with an education system that doesn't work, a health service that is unjust, high taxes to pay for a war that we shouldn't be involved in and immigration that is out of control would disagree with you Kathleen.

Casper Slides, London,

I thought the whole purpose of why Tony has been advising Gordon secretly is for people not to know! What is the point then of Cherie revealing it to the whole world!

Emmanuel, Oxford, UK

Kathleen,just to bring you up to speed.He ,Tony Blair,was the prime minister of Great Britain,or if you wish the United Kingdom,not just England.

Mike, Peterborough., Cambs.

I truly belive that TONY BLAIR one of the best leader UK ever had.
He was truly amazing. He did what he believed was right. People will remember him for long long time for his legacy. Gordon Brown is nowhere near him.

Pradip, BUtwal, NEPAL

Some of us in the USA just your average citizens, feel Mr. Tony Blair whom we have always looked up to as a strong, powerful, highly intelligent man and politician, has done a wonderful job in England especially handling the radical Islam element in your country. But his wife seems too outspoken?

Kathleen, Michigan, USA
