Labour's Tony Blair and his wife install £500k swimming pool in mansion
 
The ultimate Blair Rich Project: Former PM and his wife install £500,000 James
Bond-style 'vanishing' pool at their £4million Grade I-listed country mansion

It's an extravagance found in the homes of the world's supremely rich and
famous jetsetters – a James Bond-style 'vanishing' swimming pool.

Now Sir Tony Blair is about to join that elite by putting his own £500,000
disappearing pool in his Grade I-listed country mansion.

The former Prime Minister, who declared himself a socialist during his political
career, is splashing out on a floor that drops and rises at the touch of a
button to reveal, or conceal, a swimming pool.

Both Sir Tony, 72, and wife Cherie, 70, are said to be keen swimmers and
had a £30,000 exercise pool created in the rear garden at their sprawling
home at Wotton House, near Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire, in 2008.

Now sources have revealed to The Mail on Sunday that the Blairs have asked
specialists Twinscape to install the high-tech bespoke movable floor to create
a disappearing swimming pool.

It is thought to be costing some £500,000 – small change perhaps for a
globe-trotting statesman said to be worth up to £60 million.

The Blairs have amassed a huge property portfolio since Sir Tony left
office in 2007, including around 40 homes and flats worth about £35 million


But Sir Tony's wealth is dwarfed by that of his businessman eldest son Euan,
41, said to be worth £350 million in The Sunday Times Rich List and who
owns a £22 million, five-storey townhouse in West London, which also has a
pool.

And that's Labour, is it?

Imagine how many illegals you could squeeze into that place.

Its obscene to be bragging about this when people are heading to food banks
