At the risk of putting ideas into his head...

The Independent reports:

"Tony Blair is to announce within weeks that he has overruled Gordon Brown and will push ahead with the purchase of a £30m long-haul business jet...
The field of candidates for the jet - which will inevitably be dubbed Blair Force One - has been narrowed to two potential planes, an Airbus A320 and a Boeing 737...
Whichever wins, the new corporate jet will be fitted to carry around 40 passengers in luxurious comfort. Standard VIP layouts include at least one bedroom, an entertainment suite and a full-sized conference table."

If Mr Blair has his jet, then why not the First Minister? Air McConnell has a certain ring to it. And after all, the First Minister does a lot of travelling - New York, China, Australia, Malawi, Arran.

Now if only he hadn't blown that £30 million on bailing out Scottish Enterprise...
