Tony Blair may have lost one dictator friend with the death of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. But he need not despair. He has found another autocrat to do business with in the guise of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the president of oil-rich Kazakhstan.
Mr Blair's spokesman has admitted that the former prime minister had set up an 'advisory group' to implement economic reforms in Kazakhstan, a country ruled over for the past 20 years with an authoritarian grip by Mr Nazarbayev.
The deal, according to one source familiar with the deal, is worth as much as £8 million a year although Mr Blair's spokesman denied the amount.
The former prime minister is understood to be working in Kazakhstan with other well-known figures from his New Labour past among them Alastair Campbell, his former spin doctor, and Jonathan Powell, his one-time chief of staff. Full story...
