Tony Blair’s Christmas card suffers teething troubles
Tony Blair has been ridiculed on Twitter for putting his gnashers front and centre of a family Christmas card.
Posted to the prime minister’s friends and family the awkward snap depicts the former prime minister struggling to smile naturally in an awkward pose alongside his wife Cherie.
The resulting look was variously described as a ‘ventriloquist dummy’ with teeth that appear to ‘follow you around the room’.
A spokesman for Blair refuted suggestions that it was a poor choice of image and denied that it would be replaced, insisting that it was a ‘very nice picture’.
Is Blair dead? That would certainly explain the grimacing, teeth-baring waxwork on his Christmas card http://t.co/trPZm3i89I
