'Being the PM's wife has turned Mrs Blair from being a spiky human-rights lawyer into a grasping celeb who charges extravagant sums for delivering charity lectures and required the Labour Party to pay her Ł7000 hairdressing bill during the last general election campaign. Those were expensive haircuts all right. I wonder how many Labour activists tore up their party cards in disgust when they learned that they'd been paying their dues so that Cherie could employ her own Mr Teasy-Weasy.'
Ian Macwhirter in the Sunday Herald, 9 th July 2006.
