Tony Blair to swap bodies with Gordon Brown

In startling revelations emanating from sources within Downing Street, we can reveal how Tony Blair planned to announce that he was to step down as Prime Minister, and then using modern neurosurgical techniques to have his brain swapped with Gordon Brown’s. Shortly after this Gordon (his brain now in Tony Blair’s body) was to have been assassinated by a rogue MI5 agent.

Our source inside No 10 said “Tony Blair has completely lost it. He’s totally overcome with the pursuit of hanging onto power. He’s compromised his promise to step down by hanging on for this long, and is looking for a way to legitimately to extend his period in office. He has been obsessed with his political legacy, which at the currently amounts to a disastrous occupation of Iraq, increasing violence on the streets, and trying to force though ID cards that are becoming increasingly unpopular.

“Originally he was aiming to remain behind the scenes once Gordon Brown took over, but the Chancellor has been forced to increasingly distance himself from the Prime Minister as he loses his grip, and can no longer have him in the background once he takes over.

“Tony is looking for ways out of this, and has been in contact with certain darker elements within the security services, and these elements get more power tucked into legislation going through Parliament. Thus we end up with a police state via the back door.”
