My colleague Donal Blaney has reactivated his ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Blog and has a very good story on Lord Levy
HERE. Apparently Blair's Middle Eastern Envoy has been travelling to Latin America and the USA courtesy of the PBT. That's the Poor Bloody Taxypayer...

To be fair to Lord Levy (although you might ask why), the only "cost" to the taxpayer was the notional cost of putting him up at British Embassies (which would have been operating anyway) because he paid his own airfare.
Alternatively, one might ask why the tax payer pays for a Foreign Office and Diplomstic Service when the government appears to pay very little attention to them.
Why am I not surprised?
As an aside as to whether the somewhat creepy 'Lord' Levy paid his own airfares, can we assume that the reason Blair flew back from holiday 'early' because of 'pressing affairs of state', was so that the PBT would then pick up the bill for his airfare?
At least he's a hell of a lot better looking than Tony Ratface.
Maybe he is just hoping that when Cash For Peerages hits the fan that he is in a country without an extradition treaty.
Geoff - Are there such countries any more?
geoff - you are so right - the 'boys from brazil' spring to mind...
