Tony Booth is still there I'm pretty sure. I've just checked with the Guardian archives, and they haven't got him as dead - in fact the last mention he had this month, in a piece that suggested that if they were to do a Carry on version of the Tony Blair Witch Project, they'd have to cast Tony Booth as himself, because noone else could do it better.

God though, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the Blair Family Christmas. You know the way kids so often take after and ally with the grandfather, or the Black Sheep of the family - and when it's the same fella... it must be Tony Blair's nightmare. Tony Booth is not New Labour in any way...Unreconstructed. A Good Lad.
