More quotes by Tony Blair
Ah yes, liberal democrats unified as ever in opportunism and in error.
Tony Blair
Actually the royal family were very gracious and good to me. But I also found that the British establishment were never quite sure what to make of me. I was a Labour figure, but I'd come from a very middle-class background. In one sense I offended both traditional right and traditional left. But I thought that was no bad thing.
Tony Blair
My course has never been about triangulation, and neither, really, is Bill Clinton's. It's not - it's about applying your values to the future in a practical and unblinking way, and that is an ideological view that is every bit as strong as views from the left or from the right.
Tony Blair
I will do what it takes to help Ed Miliband win general election.
Tony Blair
There is no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: Defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must.
Tony Blair
Our ultimate weapon is not our guns but our beliefs...The spread of freedom is the best security for the free. It is our last line of defense and our first line of attack.
Tony Blair
The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Tony Blair
We have no plans to increase tax at all.
Tony Blair
We fall for... the theories of betrayal very easily, and one of the things that's always depressed me about the left, ever since I started in politics, is their ability to imbibe the propaganda of the right and regurgitate it to the left.
Tony Blair
I can't stand politicians who wear God on their sleeves.
Tony Blair
Times are tough but they are tough because the government is trying to do the right thing, whether on public service reform, education, health, anti-social behaviour and welfare, or in counter-terrorism.
Tony Blair
Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing.
Tony Blair
I don't concede it at all that the intelligence at the time was wrong.
Tony Blair
If people in the end think that you can't do something in a way which is acceptable then it won't fly. The only way you get anything like this done is if people think, 'I understand why it is being done.'
Tony Blair
Personally, I have already turned down the Downing St thermostat by 1 degree
Tony Blair
I am a pretty straight sort of guy.
Tony Blair
Terrorist threats are not happening just in this country, but in every European country and every country across the globe. As a result of that, we do sometimes have to take measures we would rather not take in order to give us the security we need.
Tony Blair
Your loss we count as our loss. Your struggle we take as our struggle.
Tony Blair
How do we deal with not just the acts of violence, but the extremist ideology that lies behind them? Because though the numbers of fanatics that go and join and kill for a group like ISIS are measured in tens of thousands, those that support the wider ideology, I'm afraid, you measure in tens of millions or more.
Tony Blair
My view is that you still, in order to win from the Labour perspective, have to have a strong alliance with business as well as the unions. You have got to be very much in the centre ground on things like public sector reform.
