Iraq/Afghanistan was Blair's negative legacy but his social investment policy in the society Thatcher said didn't exist brought communities back together unlike the far left who have attacked us that sit in the centre with social values

Exactly. at every critique of Blair, I have to precede it with the good stuff he did. Of course he did good stuff. That's a given. Doesn't mean he didn't trash it all when he went power crazed re Iraq and continued to be after being pm. I can cope with the idea of a complex human

"The minimum wage, though!!" Yeah, but if you do nothing about zero hr contracts and the gig economy then, honestly, what was the fucking point? "New Labour" was a sly, devious project, still undermining the left to this day.

In December Blair spoke about the 2019 election being the first time that Labour voters felt ashamed to vote Labour for the first time due to anti-semitism. It wasn't the first. That, for me at least, was in 2005 when I couldn't bring myself to vote Labour because of Iraq.

There was a lot of good done in the Blair years, especially when compared to what we've seen in the last decade, but Iraq left a huge stain on the party that I can't forget.
