The mainstream news channels are making the most of the dramatic landing that Tony Blair made in Florida, but this is nothing compared to the furore that will follow the newest revelations about
why Blair and his family are holidaying with Robin Gibb.

It is understood that the Prime Minister, due to leave office in the coming year, has agreed to join the two remaining Gibb brothers in their relaunch of the Bee Gees. An album and tour are expected to be announced for next summer. A tape sent by the Prime Minister to Robin has apparently impressed the two brothers enough to make them reconsider their vow never to perform under the Bee Gee name after the death of brother, Maurice. Said a source close to the PM: ‘Tony’s been a long time fan of the brothers Gibb and is honoured to be asked to join the group, which he believes offers real hope for peace in the Middle East through high-pitched caterwauling and the power of the perm.’
Ahead of the group’s relaunch and tour, Blair’s holiday with Robin Gibb is actually a thinly disguised week-long recording session when Blair hopes to cement himself in the reformed group. He has already penned a number of tracks, including a new version of ‘Jive Talkin’ which Blair is said to have improved through the addition of ‘hand gestures’ and the phrases ‘hey now’ and ‘come on you guys’.
