In the comprehensive coverage by all the media of the prime minister’s cabinet changes, there is a common thread irrespective of the political shade of the commentators, and that is of a prime minister becoming increasingly detached from the reality of his current situation.
That Tony Blair has been detached from socialism has been known for years. That he was detached from the reality of the facts – in relation to the WMD and the invasion of Iraq – is well-known. The question is, now, whether he is still simply detached or is slipping into a true – clinical – delusional state. It is often the comments of those close to someone – in this case the lobby and political correspondents – which can alert you to an individual slipping over this line.
