#TonyBlair blames #Gaza for it's plight. Not the #Nakba which turned Gaza into a refugee camp. Not the 59 years of illegal occupation by #Israel. No, the problem according to #Blair is that Gaza resists the occupation. 😡 #Palestine

"The Labour Party […] is a centralised, bureaucratic organisation that plays a key role in UK democracy whether or not the Labour Party is in government. The right [of the party] never truly ceded control over the Labour Party machine, even when Corbyn was in power. As observers from across the political spectrum have documented, key players on the Labour right worked behind the scenes to undermine him throughout his tenure." Burnham "has flip-flopped enough times for the Labour machine’s apparatchiks to accept he is no threat to their project. "Perhaps more importantly, Burnham lacks a coherent base that might hold him to account were he to tack to the right once in office. He doesn’t have strong links with the unions or any social movements. He is relatively popular among the Labour membership, but the Party has been so centralised under Starmer that members now play a much-diminished role – and Burnham is unlikely to change this. "In short, as with Starmer, there will be no one to challenge him if he reneges on commitments. Equally, there will be no one to defend him if the Labour machine turns on him. "The challenge Burnham faces is unresolvable within the current political settlement. For as long as Labour exists as a cartel, divorced from a mass base, it will remain a playground for lobbyists and consultants. These interests will fight tirelessly for their preferred policies – policies that directly contradict the interests of the majority of people in the UK. And any leader who attempts to democratise the Labour Party and take on these vested interests will be eliminated by the Labour machine. "The only way to square this circle is to build power outside the Labour Party".

“Former UK Prime Minister #TonyBlair was recently sent by Donald Trump's Board of Peace to ask the #Palestinian Authority (PA) to replace any mention of the word " #Palestine" in schoolbooks with the Jewish designation of "Samaria"” https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/blair-asked-palestinian-authority-remove-palestine-textbooks-former-uk-envoy-says

"One individual the authors discuss in detail in the book is former UK prime minister #TonyBlair and the lack of accountability seen over events such as the invasion of #Iraq. Often now deemed a so-called expert on the Middle East, Making A Killing shows how #Blair has built his wealth on the back of the invasion, with Feinstein describing him as 'one of the world’s most shameless and brazen #WarProfiteers '." #ArmsTrade#InternationalCriminalCourt#GazaGenocidehttps://www.thenational.scot/news/26406513.west-profits-gaza-exposed-andrew-feinstein-book/

“One of the things that further incentivises these geopolitics is that this trade, which is the most corrupt of all trades in the world, feeds our political systems. "If you look at #TonyBlair, who is worth hundreds of millions now, and you look at the way he’s constructed his wealth creation, it’s been directly and indirectly through the decision to invade Iraq, through his association with companies like #BAESystems, so there’s two intertwining aspects.” https://www.thenational.scot/news/26406513.west-profits-gaza-exposed-andrew-feinstein-book/

Sometimes James O'Brien on LBC is brilliant. Why is tony Blair calling on Kier Starmer to attack Iran? #iran #iranwar #iraq #iraqwar #blair #tonyblair #kierstarmer #starmer #trump #politics #war #lbc #jamesobrien #dailymailhttps://youtu.be/NtgWsoKfAUY?si=5jdCoLBRC1TPx5WW

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin | Oil and gas companies | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/feb/13/tony-blair-oil-lobbying-fossil-fuel-industry-renewables-energy-bills "The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) received money from the Saudi government, has advised the United Arab Emirates petrostate, and counts as a main donor Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, friend of Trump and advocate of AI." #BigOil #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #TonyBlair #SaudiArabia
