Tony Blair has hinted he could make a return to British politics in a revealing interview with Esquire magazine.

Reaction to the news has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic with virtually every Twitter commentator of any note frothing at the keyboard.

10 years of economic growth, minimum wage, massive reduction in child poverty, new schools & hospitals. Who wouldn't want Tony Blair back?

Only joking, that’s the only positive tweet we could find.

This paints a more accurate picture of the reaction...

Tony Blair. The turd that won't completely pass. @studioexec1

In honour of the former prime minister’s return, HuffPost UK Comedy has scoured the internet and picture archives for some suggestions about what form his new role could actually take.

Just cart him around the streets of UK cities on a Saturday night to tend those who may be in need of a reviving “tactical vom”.

For a more widespread distribution copies of his 2014 Christmas card could be handed out to revellers.

The strange thing about Tony Blair's Christmas card is how the teeth seem to follow you round the room. pic.twitter.com/UXUL2pAY5u

Yeah, I reckon the thing this country definitely needs right now is Tony Blair back in politics. Fuck this I'm moving to Iceland.

One way to reduce the pressure on public services.

3) Jeremy Corbyn

Can it get any worse for Jeremy Corbyn?
Yes: 75% would rather vote for Tony Blair

According to this rigorous and extremely representative poll, Tony Blair would make a better Jeremy Corbyn than Jeremy Corbyn.

Or perhaps ‘Blorbyn’.

4) Jester

Tony Blair back in UK politics eh? Why not, must be a little over 500 years since a Jester walked the halls of the Palace of Westminster.

This fantastic photoshopped selfie of Blair in front of some sort of explosion has been shared millions of time on social media over the years.

It displays superb timing, excellent contrast and filter usage, not to mention the dedication required to stand so exposed in a burning oil field.

Every politician could learn a thing or two from this.. Except Ed Miliband of course, he’s a pro.

7) Leader Of A Major Political Party

Any but Labour though...

Tony Blair says he may return to British politics! Well there is an opening for a right wing para-Tory as UKIP leader! #StayAwayTony

Tony Blair has hinted that he may return to politics. Maybe he'll be joining the Tories as Theresa May's replacement. #bbcqt
