More quotes by Tony Blair
I couldn't live with myself if I thought that these big strategic choices for my generation were there, and I wasn't even making them - or I was making them according to what was expedient rather than what I actually thought was right.
Tony Blair
The blunt truth about the politics of climate change is that no country will want to sacrifice its economy in order to meet this challenge.
Tony Blair
I don't concede it at all that the intelligence at the time was wrong.
Tony Blair
Fanaticism is not a state of religion but a state of mind.
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
You get these insurgent movements of populism, left and right. An insurgent movement of populism took my political party over in the UK for example.
Tony Blair
She was the people's princess and that is how she will stay, how she will remain in our hearts and our memories for ever.
Tony Blair
I've never ruled out the possibility of going back into public service.
Tony Blair
We have no plans to increase tax at all.
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.
Tony Blair
We in a sense went for the Bernie Sanders model OK? Now we're also in turmoil as a result of this result.
Tony Blair
I'm one of these people that, once you have had your election and you have elected your candidate, let's see what actually happens.
Tony Blair
I think everyone's had their pound of flesh and now it's time to move on.
Tony Blair
A lot of the politics that is going on left and right at the moment is more about a protest, which we should respond to. It's not often about a policy. And that's why what you get is this strange coalition of different views of what the future should be, coming together in alliance to protest against the status quo.
Tony Blair
The free enterprise system has not failed the financial system has failed.
Tony Blair
I learnt a lot in government, and I've learnt a lot since leaving government. The kind of journey of being in government is that you start at your most popular and least capable, and you end at your most capable and least popular.
Tony Blair
I can't stand politicians who wear God on their sleeves.
Tony Blair
The problem with the old ideology was that it suppressed the individual by starting with society. But it is from a sense of individual duty that we connect the greater good and the interests of the community
Tony Blair
No one is to blame for the breakdown in trust between politics, media and the public.
Tony Blair
I think crime is a huge issue for people. If you were living in the poorest state, and you've got drug dealers at the end of the street, and your life's in misery, and you're afraid of your kids going out the door. I mean, the job of progressive politicians is to do something about that.
Tony Blair
