johnny9fingersAnd I have to agree with him completely.
His analysis was masterly.
If only there had been no Iraq war he could have been the greatest Premier we have ever had. And I include in that WLSC. Instead Blair is what he is; a political colossus with blood on his hands.
Oh what if; if only; if.
I am presently watching Jeremy Corbyn making a speech from Salford. Corbyn's speech is bland and doesn't stick to the point; he meanders and loses focus with individual examples. Blair, who has a good political brain almost on par with Lord Mandelson or Dominic Cummings, gets to the point with a scalpel. Corbyn is still electioneering as I listen.
Blair didn't accuse Johnson of anything, but his analysis was infinitely more devastating. The text to Blair's speech doesn't appear to be available. Shame, as it was rather good.
Maybe Blair can pull something out of the bag. He, Gordon Brown, and John Major together would be a formidable group of ex PMs. Maybe get Sir Nick Clegg onside; but whatever, I don't think David Cameron needs to be included, does he?
