After the Iraq war yes, and understandably so, the war was catastrophic and unforgiveable but previously to that, on domestic policies they were voted in 3 times. I would take a Blair government any day over a Tory one. We need to Labour elected and stop slagging off Blair/Brown

And until Mr Blair accepts responsibility for Iraq and apologises, that is very unlikely to happen. And, I'm a Blair supporter!

Well, perpetual Tory rule into the 2030s and beyond it is then.

This tweet was always going to invoke a somewhat angry retort from many! That said; it’s an existential subject that should be considered by Labour. Like ‘New’ Labour or loath it, it was the last doctrine that resonated with the electorate in sufficient measure to win a majority

That time came and went though, we are 23 years on from 1997, the nation & indeed the world has moved on & is in a very different place. Certain things work at certain times, environmental, demographic & economic variables change the landscape

Blair should be in the hague, he is not a role model.

Those who experienced life before Labour Tony Blair and those who experienced the positivity of his Labour Government years can confidently say they were transformational and made a positive difference to people’s lives oh to have this today.

New Labour was pretty shit for me, couldn't afford to buy a home as prices skyrocketed & I couldn't save as wages went on rent. Then there's the legacy of PFI, lack of investment in de-industrialised regions. New Labour lost 3m votes, only supported by 21% of electorate by 2005.

From the Nuremberg Tribunal: "To initiate a war of aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime." If we lived in a functioning democracy that respected international law, Blair would be in jail.
