Tony Blair
Image
I have never pretended to be a great House of Commons man, but I pay the House the greatest compliment I can by saying that, from first to last, I never stopped fearing it.
Tony Blair
Image
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.
Tony Blair
Image
Before people crow about the absence of weapons of mass destruction, I suggest they wait a bit.
Tony Blair
Image
Values unrelated to modern reality are not just electorally hopeless, the values themselves become devalued. They have no purchase on the real world.

You get these insurgent movements of populism, left and right. An insurgent movement of populism took my political party over in the UK for example.
