    “They’re right to be reopening the schools.” Former PM Tony Blair tells @maitlis he believes the government's approach to reopening schools on June 1 is based on evidence #Newsnight | @BBCTwopic.twitter.com/Ujh7GPw6K1

        Centrists; Andrew Adonis' twitter feed and political views are literally identical to Tony Blair's. Don't expect Starmer to oppose anything Adonis and Blair support the Tories on, because most of Blair's old donors donated to Starmer's leadership campaign. Sad times for Labour.

        Every few weeks the BBC clicks its fingers and Tony Blair rises out of his coffin for a cosy chat. 🤮

        The argument that schools must reopen because of malnutrition in deprived areas seems to me, to be missing the point. Children in 21st Century Britain should not be relying on school dinners for their only nutritional meal of the day. It’s an end of the pipe solution.

        Blair only looks out for his bottom line, or those of his friends. That's his sole function and focus these days. You should be immediately suspicious of anything he or his institute advocates for.

        And because he is in Jeffrey Epstein's black book, his judgement regarding what is in the best interests of children is dubious at best.
