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.

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.

The fear of missing out means that today’s media, more than ever before, hunts in a pack. In these modes it is like a feral beast, just tearing people and reputations to bits. But no-one dares miss out.
Tony Blair

You choose your own reality and you - social media then amplifies those conspiracy theories. So that's why I say social media is itself a revolutionary phenomenon.

People always think American politics is very different, but usually it is a predictor of what happens in the politics elsewhere.

Bill Clinton has been a true leader of the western world. He has been a friend and a counsel to me and other leaders right around the world.
