Anyone for tennis with Tony? Labour's latest moneyspinner

They're all on offer to the highest bidder as the Labour party ropes in its big names and celebrity chums in an effort to pay off its mounting debts.

Party bosses are inviting supporters to attend a 'sports dinner' at Wembley Stadium on July 10, where they will be able to bid on a range of such treats  -  which also include dinner with Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

A game of tennis with Tony Blair, a tea party with Nancy or maybe a studio session with Pete Watermann

There will also be a chance to bid for the honour of becoming a character in the forthcoming novel of former No 10 spin doctor Alastair Campbell, called All In the Mind.

Other well-off bidders will be able to take tea with socialite Nancy Dell'Olio at Claridges and meet the X-factor judges.

Richard Caborn, former sports minister, said: 'We are offering a series of prizes that money cannot normally buy.'

The Labour Party website says the money will go towards helping the party win the next election. But others will see the auction as a tacky sign of Labour's financial desperation.

It is struggling with debts of at least £21million  -  with around £4million that must be repaid within the next few months.

The evening at Wembley next month is the second such fundraising event.

The most expensive option is for a specially- commissioned Antony Gormley work of art, Feeling Material Part IV.

The Turner Prize winner has marked the back of his work with the phrase 'for Labour'.

Supporters who bid for a tennis match with Tony Blair were last night warned by his most famous opponent on the court  -  Labour fundraiser Lord Levy  -  that they will have to be a good player.

'They'll have to have a big ego and spend quite a lot of money so they can boast to their friends,' he said.

'Tony is a pretty good player, very competitive and plays a good game.

'If they are no good they can only hope they get him on a bad day, when he is all over the place.'

Other prizes include lunch with Sir Alex Ferguson and the chance to watch Manchester United train, tea for two with Ruth Rendell and a signed copy of her latest novel.

Also on offer are a trip to see middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe box, a day in the studio with Mr Waterman, table tennis coaching with Commonwealth and Olympic champion Matthew Syed and a chance to meet X-Factor judges including Simon Cowell.

Bidders can also vie for an 'Aston Martin race day experience'.

Supporters could also bid on the chance to swim with Little Britain star David Walliams  -  who has swum the Channel.

There are also bottles of House of Lords port and Speaker's malt whisky, signed by Mr Blair, Gordon Brown and former Labour leader Neil Kinnock.

One is studious, well-versed in history, a little dour, but useful when it comes to a fight. The other is sleek and sophisticated, with a flair for pithy one-liners.

Uncannily reflecting their own personas, Gordon Brown and David Cameron yesterday named their favourite film heroes.

In an interview with Total Politics magazine the Prime Minister opted for swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones while Mr Cameron opted for James Bond.
