Why has #Blair chosen today when we’re all melting from record May temperatures to tell #Labour to abandon #NetZero and just ‘drill baby drill’?

Does he never leave the confines of some air conditioned mansion now?

When was the last time he met someone earning the minimum wage?

Does he honestly want children from poor families to suffer for their parents deciding to give birth to them?

What’s his solution to AI taking huge swathes of jobs and endangering life as we know it?

I’ve thought for the last three decades this quote by Lord Acton (Victorian politician and historian) absolutely describes #Blair:

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority."

#Blair never wanted to give up the reins of democratic power…so he decided instead to subvert it by creating the Tony Blair Institute. Opaque funding and furthering whose views exactly?

‘As prime minister, Tony Blair oversaw a few hundred Downing Street staff and one country. Sixteen years later, he is now responsible for more than 800 staff who help advance his policies in nearly 40 countries’

Can you judge a man by the company he keeps?

Yes, yes you can in the case of #Blair and his enthusiasm to join the so called #Trump Board of Peace.

He just loves hanging out with these guys who are also members:

Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel)
Mohammed bin Salman (Saudi Arabia) Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (Qatar) Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (UAE)
Alyaksandr Lukashenka (Belarus)
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (Türkiye)
Javier Milei (Argentina)

And until recently Viktor Orbán (Hungary)

Hmmm…’peace’.
