More quotes by 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
Immigration was probably the driving thing behind Brexit.
Tony Blair
What is true about (ex-Iraq Survey Group head) David Kay's evidence, and this is something I have to accept, and is one of the reasons why I think we now need a new inquiry - it is true David Kay is saying we have not found large stockpiles of actual weapons.
Tony Blair
If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.
Tony Blair
...we must support and protect individuals and companies engaged in life saving medical research
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
Climate change is probably the greatest long-term challenge facing the human race.
Tony Blair
Leaders lead but in the end it's the people who deliver.
Tony Blair
I don't think it's surprising we will have to look for them. I'm confident that when the Iraq Survey Group has done its work we will find what's happened to those weapons because he had them.
Tony Blair
People divide into groups where they talk to each other, but don't talk across the divide. And yet most of the challenges we face in the world today are challenges that are to do with trade, with technology, with how you make sure that people are properly educated, reform your health care system.
Tony Blair
If you're interested in politics and you're not following it, then it's a little bizarre.
Tony Blair
What I'm really more interested in doing - because I think, in a way that's kind of obvious - and you can see, look into Austria - you've got a far-right candidate who may become the president because he's in a close-run race.
Tony Blair
One of the most important things in politics is you've got to keep your mind infinitely curious and alive to what is happening differently.
Tony Blair
Education, education, education
Tony Blair
Ideals survive through change. They die through inertia in the face of challenge.
Tony Blair
Look, I am very competitive.
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
A challenge so far-reaching in its impact and irreversible in its destructive power, that it alters radically human existence... There is no doubt that the time to act is now.
Tony Blair
Conflict is not inevitable, but disarmament is... everyone now accepts that if there is a default by Saddam the international community must act to enforce its will.
Tony Blair
There is no doubt that the time to act is now. It is now that timely action can avert disaster. It is now that with foresight and will such action can be taken without disturbing the essence of our way of life, by adjusting behaviour not altering it entirely.
Tony Blair
