Not so Cool Britannia! Noel Gallagher gives damning verdict on Keir Starmer - and says he still wants Tony Blair to be PM

Noel Gallagher has insisted he would still back Tony Blair for PM - as he warned Keir Starmer not to miss an 'open goal' at the election.

The former Oasis star harked back to the glory days of Cool Britannia as he gave a distinctly lukewarm verdict on the current Labour leader.

Speaking on Times Radio, Gallagher - who famously chatted to Blair at a celebrity-strewn reception in No10 - was asked if there was a 1997 feeling about politics at the moment.

'I'd still vote for Tony Blair in the morning if he was back in the game,' the singer said.
