Tony Blair
If what the science tells us about climate change is correct, then unabated it will result in catastrophic consequences for our world.
Tony Blair
I don't think there Is a way politically to beat Insurgent Movement Of Populism.
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
It is not a sensible or intelligent response for us in Europe to ridicule American arguments and parody their political leadership.
Tony Blair
The relationship between Britain and the US is fantastically important when confronting terrorism.
Tony Blair
After the terrible events of last week, there is still the shock and disbelief there is anger there is fear but there is also, throughout the world, a profound sense of solidarity there is courage there is a surging of the human spirit.
Tony Blair
Of particular importance to us is the recognition... that what we want is a Europe of nations, not a federal super-state.
Tony Blair
Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity.
Tony Blair
