Tony Blair admits mistakes - but viewers were more interested in his new mullet style haircut

FORMER PM Tony Blair’s long locks seem to be distracting TV viewers.

The ex-Labour leader, 67, was making a serious point on ITV about Scottish independence — but online wags were more interested in his hair.

One compared his “mullet” to late club owner Peter Stringfellow’s hairdo.

Another said: “It’s not Tony Blair, it’s Tony Hair.

"He’s a rock star.”

His new style is a far cry from his 2004 clean-cut image.

Mr Blair said devolution mistakes failed to quash Scottish nationalism.

Times Radio journalist Aasmah Mir said: “I’m sorry but someone is going to have to stage an intervention over Tony Blair’s hair.”
