TONY Blair has caused quite the stir on social media with his lockdown locks. 

The former Prime Minister was trending on Twitter last night after an interview with ITV revealed a controversial new hairdo. 

For a politician known to have a consistent cut, viewers were quick to create memes using a picture of Blair's mullet-like do, drawing comparisons between the former MP for Sedgefield and Doctor Who, a high elf, the possessed Vigo painting in Ghostbusters, Reverend Henry Kane from Poltergeist 3 and more. 

One person tweeted: "I see Tony Blair has come back from the future to see Marty McFly to say something needs to be done about the kids"

We've dug through our archives to reveal some of Blair's best hair over the years.
