As usual in these cases, he was back in the government faster than you can say 'revolving door'. There is now speculation that he will soon return as Home Secretary (Minister of the Interior). He was the most illiberal, authoritarian Home Secretary I can remember. For the sake of administrative convenience, hiding behind the terrorism threat, he is prepared in a moment to sign away the rights and freedoms for which generations have fought over hundreds of years. So naturally Blair wants him back.
