Blair says he’d have done better than Brown in 2010

Just when you thought the Blair/Brown rows were over…Tony Blair comes along and says:

“Frankly, if I’d had a fourth election, I would have given Cameron a run for his money. I’m not saying I would have won, but it would have been tighter than it was.”

The full interview with Bloomberg Markets Magazine – covering Blair’s time after Downing Street, and his earnings – including some of his more controversial clients – is well worth a read.
