Tony unhappy about Cherie book

Tony Blair is "extremely concerned" about the potential political fallout from the decision by his wife, Cherie, to publish her memoirs next year, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

A friend of the former prime minister has revealed that Mr Blair is far from an enthusiastic supporter of his wife's project, for which she has reportedly secured a £1m fee. However, Mr Blair felt he was powerless to prevent the book being written, the friend said.
