Wow! What a shiner!

Tony Blair was in London today to pick up an award from his old pal Lord Mandelson and arrived sporting a black eye. Or at least the remains of one…

The former prime minister’s spokesman said that he had hurt himself in a “gym-related accident”, but refused to elaborate on the exact circumstances.

A keep-fit fanatic and keen tennis player, Mr Blair had a gym installed at No 10 when he was in power and likes to work out on a daily basis. It’s not clear whether he had a row with his rowing machine or lost a battle with his Bullworker.

Whatever!
