Blair's autocracy

A former British Cabinet Secretary, Lord Butler, has come forward to accuse the lame duck Prime Minister of gutting the powers of the cabinet. According to Lord Butler the cabinet took only one decision in Blair's first eight months in office and that was to leave the Prime Minister the task of sorting out the Millennium Dome fiasco. For those in charge of the careful cultivated Blair legacy* the fact that Lord Butler compares St. Tony unfavourably with Margaret "The Milk Snatcher" Thatcher will not be an east pill to swallow.

*Note: from this point forward I shall be refering to the "Blair legacy" as the "Blairgacy" in order to conserve valuable keystrokes.
