I hope that people know me well enough and realise that I would never do anything to harm the country or anything improper. I never have. I think most people who have dealt with me think I am a pretty straight sort of a guy.
Tony Blair
Image
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
Image
I do not want to end up with an American style of politics, with us going out there beating our chest about our faith. Politics and religion - it is not that they do not have a lot in common, but if [religion] ends up being used in the political process, I think that is a bit unhealthy.
Tony Blair
Image
I actually did trouble to read Marx first hand. I found it illuminating in so many ways in particular, my perception of the relationship between people and the society in which they live was irreversibly altered.

What I don't know is whether there is a way politically that you can beat away these, some of these populist movements because in the end I don't think they really do provide answers. They ride the anger. But they don't really have the answers. Or whether this is an experiment we're just going to have to go through first.

I shall not rest until, once again, the destinies of our people and our party are joined together again in victory at the next general election Labour in its rightful place in government again.
Tony Blair
Image
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
Image
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

I'm the f***ing Prime Minister!
Tony Blair
Image
Retreat might give us a moment of respite but years of repentance at our weakness would, I believe, follow.
Tony Blair
Image
There is nothing like waking up at six in the morning and changing a baby's nappy to bring you face to face with life's reality.
Tony Blair
Image
The threat today is not that of the 1930s. It's not big powers going to war with each other. The ravages which fundamentalist political ideology inflicted on the 20th century are memories. The Cold war is over. Europe is at peace, if not always diplomatically.
Tony Blair
Image
There's a huge wave of anti-establishment feeling. There's an enormous amount of anger. And it's collapsing governments and political movements across the world right now.
Tony Blair
Image
The public think the politicians don't know or care about their lives and the politicians feel misunderstood.
Tony Blair
Image
People should go about their daily lives, to work, to live, to travel, to shop, to do the things people did in the same way as they did them before 11 September.
Tony Blair
Image
I think the journey for a politician goes from wanting to please all the people all the time, to a political leader that realises in the end his responsibility is to decide. And when he decides, he divides.

Yes, I feel I've got something to say. If people want to listen, that's great, and if they don't, that's their choice.

The Iraqi elections struck a blow to the heart of global terrorism.
