Patsy says Blair wouldn’t rock her like Liam
WHO’S better in bed — Tony Blair or Liam Gallagher? Actress Patsy Kensit can reveal all. She compared the former PM and the Oasis frontman this week, and tells us who she preferred. Don’t look back in anger, Tony.

The Londoner approached Blair for comment, but he was unavailable. Perhaps Blair was reeling in shock. What’s the story, morning glory? This time, we’d prefer not to know.
