Mr Tony Blair and his wife Cherie (remember them?) have purchased another house with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, thought to be for the use of their second son Nicky, 23.
The cost was a mere £1.13m and it is reported it also features a sun terrace, brushed steel kitchen (a nightmare because it scratches easily but looks good new) and an open plan living room.
Why does a 23 year old need 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms or does he intend to house share with some of his pals?
Last year the Blairs bought a Grade 1 listed mansion in Wotton Underwood, Buckinghamshire for a mere £5.75m and of course they have their five-storey mansion in London's Connaught Square, bought in 2004, which was a snip at £3.65m.
Their former constituency home in County Durham is still up for sale with an asking price of £300,000 and the price hasn't been reduced because of the recession. Obviously the Blairs don't need the money in order to expand their property portfolio.

My daddy was going to buy me a £1.13 million house too. ..then the alarm clock went off and spoiled it all.
Like the Kinnocks, these people have done very nicely out of us thank you, haven't they? Labour, the party of the working man, tut tut.
I'd do anything, well nearly anything, to stop this odious couple from lording it up as King and Queen of Europe.
Why, I'd even stand myself dammit!
this will surely be a tax dodge of some sort.
Oh it'll definitely have a tax avoidance tag to it FL. Similar to them not staying in the country for more than 91 (I think it is) days a year.
I'll be your campaign manager tris - in fact I'm sure will a small effort you could gather around 20 no bother at all. :)
This is yet another reason for introducing Land Value Tax, to cut these parasites down to size.
I'd like to hear more details about a land tax Mark, but what I've heard so far has been reasonable.
I should have also said Mark, the Greens in the Scottish Parliament support a land tax.
I've counted SR. You included, I make it 2!
No Tris, I shall prove you wrong one day!
Mr Blair is a repulsive war monger a toadying lickspittle of the worst American President ever (even worse than William Henry Harrison who only lasted 28 days after he refused to wear a coat at his inauguration address, which was the longest ever at over 2 hours, got pneumonia and died). But setting all that aside I think he will be the biggest laugh as President of Europe: can you imagine the first EU President and he does not have the support of his home country and what a thorn in the side to David Cameron. I can see great joy that way.
Oh Munguin, you cynic you.
I'd rather not have the laugh and see Tony Blair rejected as EU president.
His effortlessly rocketing prosperity is reassuring. However we may have disgreed with decisions he made in office at least we know that they were made for selfless reasons without an eye to making personal alliances or the return of any favours once he resigned as PM. Only a retreat, such as his, to a modest life in obscurity...
No, it's no use. This is too revolting for sarcasm.
It's too revolting for satire too Jim.
