<ringing>


Gordon Brown (GB): Good morning, this is former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.


Tony Blair (TB): Hi Gordon. It's Tony.


GB: <muffled harumph> You've got some nerve calling me, Blair.


TB: It's good to hear your voice, Gordon.


GB: Don't try that shit with me, Blair, I'm not Rupert Murdoch.


TB: Gordon, it's water under the Bridge. It's 30 years ago!


GB: 30 years! <heavy sigh> Some cuts run deep, Tony.


TB: I know. And I'm sorry.


GB: Sometimes sorry isn't enough!


TB: I handed you the top job, Gordon.


GB: A year too late!


TB: OK, OK. Look, we need to talk.


GB: Woah, woah, woah. I know that tone. I'm retired.


TB: They want me in Gaza, to sort it all out.


GB:……don't you dare…..


TB: I need you Gordon…


GB: You are unbelievable, the nerve!


TB: Milburn is in. Beckett is in.


GB: (pause) Alan and Maggie are in?


TB: You know she hates you calling her that.


GB: <chuckles> Yes, she always did. What about Jack?


TB: Jack is in if you're in. You're the final piece of the puzzle.


GB: I'm not sure. I need time.


TB: The military industrial complex doesn't have time, Gordon. Sales targets are coming up.


GB: Those poor guys.


TB: You can help, Gordon, we can turn this around….


GB: SHUT UP! Let me think………….You son of a bitch, I'm in. Tell Jack to get that bottle of single malt ready.


TB: Thank you Gordon, you won't regret it.


GB: When do we start?


TB: The car is outside your house.


GB: <looks through window> (laughs) YOU MOTHERF…….<click>



'Uggi' Blair to reprise historic president's poodle act

ree

"I am so very excited about the President's wonderful transitional peace plan for Gaza," gushed four-legged Tony Blair, lolling out his tongue and rolling over.


"It will allow me to capture the world's attention, as I did 25 years ago, by following a US president like a poodle around the Middle East.


"And as Trump's top stooge for his impossibly wise and far-sighted peace plan, I will have the onerous duty of travelling around the world's capitals, staying in agreeable hotels and attending state banquets - all in exchange for my usual daily rates, and the assurance that they will rename Gaza City Blairsburg-in-the-Sands.


"Why do they call it the transition plan, you ask," said Blair, responding to a reporter's reluctant question with his customary grin and tail wag.


"Because hopefully, it will end up with Trump getting transitioned into a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and the Pope transitioning me into becoming the world's first living saint."
