Good to see that someone is surviving the credit crunch. The London Evening Standard reports tonight that Tony Blair has earned £12m since leaving No 10, and is now the highest paid public speaker in the world.
The paper claims the former prime minister has agreed an advance of around £4.6m for his memoirs and commands up to £157,000 for a 90-minute speech.
Nice work if you can get it, and it must be a huge relief when it comes to those eye-watering mortgage payments on Connaught Square.
