Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.
His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.
Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.
Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.
Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.

78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.
Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.
78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.
For years David Baddiel defended his racism towards black player Jason Lee. Now he’s given a platform by the BBC to talk about national identity and football. You couldn’t make it up. ‘David Baddiel’s apology was overdue. I’ve waited a long time’ https://t.co/25n0CvM0s4
All four Champions League semi-finalists have existing sponsorship deals with Visit Rwanda: the tourism board of the nation ranked 143rd in GDP per capita globally.
Israel is a rogue state and our government should treat it as such.
Our Government should have suspended diplomatic and trade relations long ago but if not now, when?
That's right, the CHAIRMAN of the @NorthernPremLge (pictured) telling an FC United fan who politely emailed him to "go fuck yourself"
Mark Harris must resign immediately. This and the rest of the week's events prove that the NPL have a serious issue with bias against FC United
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country.
The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so.
I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.
Sickening finish to that half but we've gifted them two goals and unlucky the two lads slip for the opener.
We aren't anywhere near done yet though, need to storm out for this second half and go at them again 🚀
