I feel like everyone else in this country today. I am utterly devastated.
Tony Blair
Image
Actually the royal family were very gracious and good to me. But I also found that the British establishment were never quite sure what to make of me. I was a Labour figure, but I'd come from a very middle-class background. In one sense I offended both traditional right and traditional left. But I thought that was no bad thing.
Tony Blair
Image
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.

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

Your loss we count as our loss. Your struggle we take as our struggle.
Tony Blair
Image
I'm one of these people that, once you have had your election and you have elected your candidate, let's see what actually happens.
Tony Blair
Image
Yes, I did have to struggle very hard to get this [the vote on the Iraq war] through, but the reason I did it was because I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn't take this on myself... just because I thought, 'Let's give myself a really hard time for a couple of years!'
Tony Blair
Image
I don't think it's surprising we will have to look for them. I'm confident that when the Iraq Survey Group has done its work we will find what's happened to those weapons because he had them.
Tony Blair
Image
I will do what it takes to help Ed Miliband win general election.
Tony Blair
Image
Saddam was a threat, that the threat had to be dealt with.
Tony Blair
Image
I'm an avowed centrist, and I believe that - centrism is often - it's almost the wrong word to use, because it's often seen as sort of splitting the difference between right and left.
Tony Blair
Image
The first big choice: a government with the strength to deliver stability, or a government that takes the country back to boom and bust.
Tony Blair
