BRITAIN’S longest serving MP, Tam Dalyell, has branded Tony Blair "by far the worst" of the eight Prime Ministers he has known.

Linlithgow MP Mr Dalyell, who is also Father of the House, blamed Mr Blair’s presidential style for his verdict.

The Labour politician took his Commons seat 43 years ago when Winston Churchill was still an MP.

But the 72-year-old loathes the manner in which Mr Blair governs the country - attributing it to an over-large majority - the Prime Minister’s character and the PM’s lack of contact with Parliament.
