Tony Blair distances himself from Tory public service changes
"Tony Blair has distanced himself from claims that he is backing David Cameron's public services changes and has urged George Osborne to show flexibility by cutting the deficit at a pace consistent with maintaining growth and jobs.

At prime minister's questions this week, Cameron three times claimed the support of Blair for his reforms, including his deficit reduction programme but, in a Guardian interview, the former prime minister reasserted his own political identity, saying: "I have not endorsed anything."

However, he urged the Labour party to be relaxed when there was a crossover in policy, saying it was happening the world over."

So, basically, this is a proven liar calling another proven liar a liar. I need a lie down.
