Mr Blair, who won three general elections in a row between 1997 and 2005, will use a speech in London to warn of an existential threat to Labour.Mary Creagh on Jeremy Corbyn: 'He should be apologising'
Other factors it cites for the"unthinkable losses" suffered by Labour were concerns over a lack of economic credibility in its public spending and renationalisation proposals, the leadership's stance on security issues and a feeling the party had not done enough to root out"extremism". Mr Blair, a longstanding critic of the party's move to the left under Mr Corbyn, will say the scale and nature of the defeat"marks a moment in history" and demands more than a brief period of introspection and the election of a new leader.
Too late, Corbyn still banging on in parliament today, if you want to paint something, start with the Labour front bench
Who the F does he think he is, him that helped the Tories privatise , setting up private company's Bupa etc etc etc , then he took broken Britain to the Iraqi war,when asked not to do in our name, your a crook greedy basket ?
Tony Blair legacy .... started the sale of the NHS... PFI building scam, Weapons of mass destruction war..... leading to terrorism on our streets. The country’s huge financial debt.... should be ashamed to show his face and lucky not to be sharing a cell with his mate Bush !
A Blairwash is much more effective.
Is he still talking!?!
Blair should keep his opinions to himself and be put in a nursing home.
Corbyn got more votes than Blair in 05 so maybe he's not the biggest expert on the matter. I'd guess after another 5 years of Tories labour return a majority in 2024/5
Is this guy still not locked up in a dark deep dugeon being feed bread and water and if not why not
You had an opportunity to fade away and have all your despicable and hateful actions largely forgotten by most. If I were you I'd have taken it
Tomorrow no doubt The Media Luvvies will give him serious air time BBCr4today why do they think he has any relevance to most British People nobody listened to his preaching on BREXIT and we don't listen now. Media Luvvies we want Balanced World News not BBCPolitics saturation
Shouldn't he be in prison.
and his answer is?
Murdoch backed war criminal offers opinions
Isn’t this the same war criminal that said we must stay in the EU?
This means that Blair didn't understand anything. He should man up and admit that he is responsible for the chaotic economy, for the undemocratic opinion to try and cancel Brexit, for the criminal decision to rage wars and instability in the Middle East, for the lies & hypocrisy
Like his whitewash about 'weapons of mass destruction' that didn't exist
Blair is one of the reasons why labour lost
Racist - you can’t use that word you abhorrent Fecker ..... Oh sorry Yes you can because the connotations are negative to the majority
According to Corbyn the electorate is to blame for being ignorant & stupid.
This Tory Government is based on lies and deceit. It will devour itself. Mark my words, the infighting will be horrific as the consequence and reality of Brexit hits the country hard. Brexit is like a giant abscess and will eventually have to be lanced.
Is he allowed to say 'whitewash' ?
Still think he was our best leader.
Labour, in my opinion, has become too far hard left-wing Marxism. Even their own electorate know better as the GE result has shown, especially in Labour heartlands. Their own MP's can't even agree. Listen to the people! Return to centre-left or accept no longer major opposition!
Labour major problem was the extreme bias of the BBC and it coverage or Boris vs Corbyn , Boris they idolized as a rock star, Corbyn they vilified as a evil entity, BBC vilify was obvious to the world , they totally betray democrac
So what's new
TKoutsantonisMP Why would buying back services like rail water be extreme they were publicaly owned before
He was a 100% backing a remain vote and now is claiming labour made mistakes. Lol
He’s part of the problem!
The long - term price of Blairism was huge for Labour in their heartlands. He took them for granted and wooed the middle classes. Scotland caught on quickly and jumped ship, Wales/ midlands/north are now catching up. Labour had 13 years to address deprived post industrial towns.
Who wants to take advice from a War Criminal?
You discredited Labour and let us down and you have no right to preach now .
Thanks BBC for communicating BBC/Tory policy so effectively.
Says trying to whitewash itself out of history. MediaBias
Why exactly is he making a speech. He knows the Labour Party inside out. Why doesnt he actually try doing something. Another publicity stunt.
We dint want Lsbour to become another quasi cinservative party of the Blair years that laud tge foundations for disenchantment
The human missile has crawled out.
This coming from a Liar
The reason was you fought brexit every chance you could when over 30% of labour supporters voted to leave, and labour called them Nazis! Not a vote winner 😂
The face of a mass murderer.
Whatever u think of him he is correct I'm afraid ,the cultists following Corbyn need to be removed
Who gives a sh.t what Blair thinks
He had nothing to do with it anymore.
A now irrelevant war criminal and liar why does he keep talking callmetony
who cares what you think. your untrustworthy and made Labour the great party they are today
.. and there he is. Crawled out from under his stone again
You know Labour is in deep shit when you see how they treat their best leader , who won an amazing 3 elections in a row!!!! You have to go back to the seventies to find an elected Labour PM.
This is what happens when war criminals are not prosecuted.
I wish this prick would look in the mirror cause he's one of the reasons why Labour got stuffed
Orf wiv is ed 😬😬
Nothing to do with him then ! He helped them lose the election.
His arrogance in wanting to ignore the Referendum result is one of the reasons they lost. Always smug and 'Holier Than Thou'.
Tony Blair? Who's he? 🤷♂️ C’est un homme double!
Like Tony Blair did with the Gulf War. You sent hundreds to their deaths on the basis of Georg W Bush and his lies. Call yourself a Christian 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
They should’ve listened to Blair he was absolutely right... Corbyn had Johnson in a cage but by agreeeing to the election...handed him the key.
Labour is finished unless all the 'top team' are replaced with fresh blood and drop their stormtrooper attitudes
Just like a terrible stain, he will never go away.
Can we sex it up a little?
Who cares what this war criminal thinks? He made millions on the backs of hard working classes.
Mr dodgy dossier is a fine one to give advice about whitewashing?
He really needs to go away
Still bleating on.
Can we stop seeing this old scrote. His time is over.
Why are you giving this war criminal space?
Tony Blair PM (anagram) iM Tory Plan B
Tony who?
Blair a superb leader. Brown excellent too...and now ? Michael Foot land. Need a clear out
welldone BBC no more man to kick so start kicking the ideology-you'll never change-not fit for purpose
Mandelson, Blair, Watson, and their Bitterite pals and their willing contribution to the politics of fear. They knowingly sacrificed EU membership and the NHS in order to defeat a Lab party which only wanted Scandinavian style moderate socialism.
Tony who
You are one of them!
Blair and the blairite vision is as big as reason for defeat. as much as they blame Corbyn. Corbyn fell for the trap of the second referendum when his stance before was to leave. He was poorly adviced and he took the advice
he was right
The man knows what he's talking about. Corbyn and McDonnell were part of the left wing of the Labour party that lost heavily under Foot, and then argued bitterly with Kinnock and Blair in the 80s, as they fought to make them electable. He's been here before, listen!
Tony Blair warns...? Give over, BBC, stop promoting this villain
Who has done more damage to the Labour Party
Why is he even being given any coverage? He is just a war criminal and no body of importance now.
Other factors it cites for the 'unthinkable losses' suffered by Labour were concerns over a lack of economic credibility in its public spending. No shit Sherlock...although free broadband, 2bn trees, unicorns, and handjobs under the NHS would have been nice.
*Tory* Blair speaks. On behalf of the Conservative Party.
Ironic. Blair is the past master of the whitewash!
He is the penultimate Labour leader and one of only four socialists to actually have been elected er, three times, since 1902. So what does he know? That's right: more than you.
War criminal
Will you just go away
Who cares what Mr Blair thinks, he made plenty of mistakes. Labour need a reality check. Can't believe I'm saying this, but they also need to distance themselves from some union leaders, party has to work for everyone. People remember the 70s, people have changed.
And there is nuclear threat within 90 minutes threat from iraq
Tony B won't be forgotten because of all the blood he has on his hands from all the poor English troops that have been killed' looking for his so called weapons of mass destruction. Oh and i think he nearly bankrupted Britain by going to war.
Very knowledgeable man our Tony I don't think
New labour needs restoring a progressive forward approach to politics and policy is needed not last centurys ideologies that mr Corbyns labour projected and by the sounds of it will still continue to do
Accurate
It was Brexit and Blare that did it .
1 weak Milliband gave keys to hard left 2 MPs put self interest first and let power drift away 3 Corbyn talked to only those that agreed with him 4 Desperate the party tried to spend for loyalty 5 They didn't listen millions had left Labour but Corbyns half million won't win PM
Who in their right mind would listen to this dreadful man?
Is this the same Tony Blair who only recently predicted that the conservatives would be destroyed in the election because the country was against Brexit?
Labours problems started a long time ago. Started with David Milliband and became 10x worse once Corbyn took over. None of the current candidates for leadership will fix the problems.
He is literally one of the reasons they lost
Tony Blair is Crook, the money that man syphoned from the NHS through PFI’s was disgusting , not to mention war crimes, red Tory , bring back hanging
Why are you giving this traitor oxygen, he is simply stating the obvious that we all know about. Fraud, deceiver, monster.
And why were you out voted again, There were no found weapons of mass destruction, you and Bush have blood on your hands. I often think of Dr David Kelly, poor poor man As well as all the innocents, Americans and british who died
Oh god, he has his voice back - as if anyone is interested. Listen to Michael Heseltine. Shut up and move on old has been.
🤪
OK lets not 'whitewash' the reasons: The centrist (your favourite political position) LibDems, lost their F*****g leader and in 2017 Corbyn got more votes than you. Only when he followed your second ref. strategy did he lose 59 seats. Now piss off.
Tony Blair won three elections for uklabour ,this is true plus with other candidates and the members as well, against a Conservative party that was hamstrung, he also left before he was pushed (also true StewartWood ?) History is fluid and teaches many lessons.
Took his time plucking up the courage to speak. Absolute walloper.
He is the biggest negative asset of labour, what he show off?
You've betrayed the British people , you jumped into bed wi the Torys , The war on the NHS , let's yous & the rest of the fat cats out the bag
He should be in the Hague
Wow. He’s aged as well as he deserves. Hope I look as good when I retire at 75 🖕
OK, war criminal.
Sadly many are more interested in proving their dogma is true rather than seeking truth itself, which is found in Christ and his teachings.
He’s right though labour can’t ignore demands of the majority if they want govern this country
OH GO AWAY MAN! FAR FAR AWAY!
Why is the BBC giving him any publicity I don’t want to see or hear from a person who took us into an illegal war on a lie as a licence payer I don’t want to see him on here
Corbyn has nothing to apologise for. However the Tory abolishment of the human rights bill will make sure this war criminal will never face justice along with the plethora of armed forces thugs who will now become “above the law”.
I'm sure they are very relieved to finally have Tony's opinion. I'll certainly sleep better tonight. Spoiler alert: He's probably right on this one. I'm just a bit sarcastic.
I would suggest of all the people to listen to about the way ahead, the last person should be this war criminal. The very reason the party is in such a shambles is down to people like him, among others.
The less we see of this war monger the better. WMD's, Sexed up documents, Chilcot report, Millions of deaths later This is his saga, his legacy. He belongs in the Hague.
The only change needed is that political parties should work in the interest of the people. Not to score political against the opponents even though it does not benefit the people. People first always.
Tony Blair is a Weapon of Mass Deception
Shami ‘whitewash’ got a massive gong! For her! Labour have ‘previous’ for rewarding a cover up! Crazy!
They'll double down, betcha
Oh believe me Tony I am not I am very clear as to why we lost the election. It started when you hijacked a Socialist party and destroyed any future for the working classes.
Too late
Or how to say: It doesn't matter if you are a war criminal while you win elections.
Thanks Tony. Whitewash was also used in reference to WMD! Prison for one!
can he go back into his hole now?
He knows a thing or two about winning elections. I would listen to him.
Typical Tony...never wants to be forgotten....
