Former UK prime minister Tony Blair has taken one of the biggest steps in his new career since leaving office last month - by learning how to use text messaging.

Speaking to a Labour Party fundraising events, he admitted he’s only just got the hang of texting, having only bought his first mobile phone last October - and his first message got a reply back asking: “Who are you?”
