28 Dec 06 Tony Blair was accused of cheapening the office of Prime Minister and grabbing yet another freebie holiday after he embarked on a £60,000 break in Florida with one of the Bee Gees.
The Prime Minister, his wife Cherie and three of their children are relaxing in the £5.2million seafront mansion owned by Robin Gibb, one of the two surviving members of the 1970s pop group. |

Thursday December 28, 2006 The Guardian After the annual ritual of controversy surrounding his choice of summer holiday accommodation, Tony Blair was hoping to keep his plans for some winter sun with the family quiet. Unfortunately the prime minister had not planned on their British Airways jet overshooting the runway at Miami International airport early yesterday, crushing some landing lights and sending hordes of journalists rushing to the scene.
All 343 passengers got off the plane unharmed, but the Blairs' secret was out: they were heading for the splendid waterfront home of the former Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb. |
