I was a fan of Tony Blair and we must remember that he lead Labour to 3 election wins.Re: Tony Blair interview on Newsnight last night!
He wants to "rebuild the center of British Politics"
He says "Labour has to convince the electorate that they can govern" (apparently so that some Tory voters will switch to Lib Dems)
Labour cannot support the SNP because they both want something different, ( assume he means Labour has to get its finger out in Scotland)
He does support Starmer
Despite the past, you have to admit most politicians today cannot hold a candle to this man, his method of speaking, his facial expressions, his sideward glances when making a really important point, the 'mind set' that he knows best!
New Labour was a great concept at the time and certainly did a number of very good things.
His legacy is obviously tarnished with Iraq and always will be.
And I have been honest enough to say that I was a supporter of that policy at the time.
I am always a bit concerned when previous PMs in particular keep stepping into public life with their comments and appearances. And because of the strength of feeling still about Iraq, whether he is actually harming the Labour party.
He was a very astute and skillful politician. But I just don't think people are prepared to listen to him anymore.
