SCARBOROUGH student Jessica Haigh was brought face to face with Tony Blair yesterday, and gave him a blast every bit as icy as the North Sea wind.

The daughter of a former Labour councillor and election agent, she told the Prime Minister he had turned into a Tory. She would be voting Lib Dem.

Mr Blair was clearly ruffled. He has always had a thing against Scarborough, preferring Blackpool and Brighton for Labour conferences.

Jessica's impressive tirade is likely to have confirmed his misplaced view that Scarborough is the last resort.
