Blair's lying again

Sir Ian, that is. Via Mr Eugenides, he is at it again. The man is a total cock-up magnet, worthy of a blog of his own, and to be honest I'm amazed he's still in office. He's Prescotting.

(To) Prescott - verb; to cling on to political office long after one's turn. qv. Mandelsonning (to switch political offices repeatedly, in the face of calls to resign).
