From my Mail on Sunday column, Gollum, pictured at a recent event in London, has begun to look remarkably like the Blair creature. pic.twitter.com/T3BrDhMDlO

There is a whole portrait of Dorian Gray thing going on with Tony Blair. His corruption is written all over his face.
It should be noted Peter Hitchens is a conservative prat, and he issued this bon mot to suggest that Keir Starmer is some sort of secret radical leftist, but it's still amusing.
‘Gollum’ Tony is no moderate
Last week the Blair creature emerged from wherever he dwells to sit alongside another leathery old Marxoid, the current Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.
Amazingly, people still think of Blair, who has done so much to ruin a prosperous and happy country, as a ‘moderate’.
They make the same mistake about Sir Keir, a veteran ultra-radical. The resulting interaction was about as much fun as gallstones or reflux.
WITHERED: Tony Blair speaking at the Future for Britain conference last week. Right: Gollum in Lord Of The Rings
But what struck me was how Blair is starting to look like Gollum in The Lord Of The Rings, consumed and withered by his embrace of war in Iraq, and the great tidal wave of evil released by it.
By the way, his invasion of Iraq genuinely was unprovoked, which Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not. Why is it never referred to as such?
I think that he is being unfair to Sméagol, who wasn't always evil.
