Blair accused of stealing movie lines for his memoirs
Tony Blair has been accused of stealing lines from the 2006 film 'The Queen' for his new memoirs.

Peter Morgan, the screenwriter of the hugely successful British film starring Helen Mirren and Michael Sheen, said a particularly poignant moment described in Mr Blair's book was actually totally made up for the movie.

Mr Blair claims Queen Elizabeth II told him after Labour's landslide victory in 1997: 'You are my 10th Prime Minister. The first was Winston . That was before you were born'.
