Those who wish to cause religious conflict are small in number but often manage to dominate the headline.
Tony Blair
I'm the f***ing Prime Minister!
Tony Blair
That's the art of leadership. To make sure that what shouldn't happen, doesn't happen.
Tony Blair
One thing I'm not sure of - and it's a very open question - is whether the type of politics that I represent really has had its day or not. Now I obviously believe passionately it hasn't, that it's still the answer and not the problem, and, you know, the evidence points both ways.
Tony Blair
Sovereignty rests with me as an English MP and that's the way it will stay.
Tony Blair
If you're interested in politics and you're not following it, then it's a little bizarre.

I've never ruled out the possibility of going back into public service.
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
Now you may do it badly, you may do it well, some people like you, some people hate you, all the rest of it - but you have got a real motivating life purpose. [on being Prime Minister
Tony Blair

Tony Blair
People always think American politics is very different, but usually it is a predictor of what happens in the politics elsewhere.
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 think I made the wrong career choice
Tony Blair
There's a great frustration with the system. There's a lot of anger out there. But in the end, you need answers and not just anger. But anyway, let me not trespass too much into your politics. I've got enough problems in my own politics.
Tony Blair
For me, 9/11 was a game changer. It altered my perception of the security threat we faced. I took the position that Britain should be shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. It was a big decision I didn't take it lightly, or in ignorance of its consequences. It's a big commitment for a country to give, but I believed it was the right thing to do.
Tony Blair
I had no intention of returning into the British political debate, really at all, even though I've obviously got very strong views on it, until Brexit happened, because I think Brexit is a destiny-changing decision for my country.
Tony Blair
Every so often, I feel I should graduate to classical music, properly. But the truth is, I'm more likely to listen to rock music.
Tony Blair
We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.
Tony Blair
