Now Tony and Cherie Blair jet off on five weeks of luxury freebies | Mail Online

Tony and Cherie Blair have arrived in Malaysia for the start of five weeks of freebie holidays in the sun.

The couple, who flew first class from London, yesterday enjoyed a quiet stroll through a butterfly park in Penang.

Ahead of them are days of luxury on a beautiful island before they head off to Beijing for the Olympics and then wind down on a private yacht in the Mediterranean.

It is, admittedly, a change from their traditional freebie summer at Sir Cliff Richard's villa in Barbados.

But, as is customary, it is likely that the Blairs will still be enjoying the hospitality of rich friends.

And current British political leaders feel obliged to holiday at home. Brown is in East Anglia and Cameron in Cornwall.

Brown will probably come back a week earlier than planned, to supervise the interrogation of disloyal, soon to be ex-Foreign Secretary Milliband.

Cameron will probably leave Cornwall for a month at his undersea base, where he will plot the next stage of his cunning plan for world domination as well as designing a complicaqted death trap for 007 to escape from.

I thought Cameron was more likely quaffing lemonade and foiling villains with his dog Timmy.
