Cherie Blair has never knowingly avoided saying and doing stupid things, but her latest remark – that her husband Tony is comparable to Sir Winston Churchill, the wartime leader, Nobel prize-winner, soldier and historian – will attract understandable mirth.  

She makes her remarks in an interview in the current issue of Vanity Fair magazine. 

Talking of her husband's three terms as Prime Minister, she says: "He was fantastic. I'm sure history will judge him very well. I think he'll be up there with Churchill."
