Since leaving office, Tony Blair has adopted many roles. The international statesman. The guardian of Africa. The religious leader. The global businessman.

Newton, Maxwell, Einstein and Tim Blair have described the universe. Blair's Law is "the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force". On the 15th November, the Guardian gave over its comment pages to people from Occupy London. Most of the resulting articles were produced by earnest but weak-minded hippies. Two of the articles made the hip...

From the Guardian: At the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, Obama lavished praise on Blair, who was the principal speaker. The president said: "I want to thank my good friend Tony Blair for coming today, somebody who did it first and perhaps did it better than I will do. He has been an example for so many people around the world of what dedicated leadership can accomplish. And w...

The more that comes out about how Tony Blair and Gordon Brown behaved (or perhaps more accurately, how Gordon Brown behaved towards Tony Blair) the more you wonder quite what world they were living in. Here, courtesy of The Guardian’s Nicholas Watt, is one of the latest revelations of the sort of behaviour that would

As reported by the BBC and in the Guardian, Times and Daily Mail, Tony Blair received his Medal of Freedom today, but did not receive his long-delayed* Congressional Gold Medal at the same ceremony. (*Phew, I almost said 'overdue' then;...

All that spinning and all those stories turn out to have been well founded. Tony Blair was wrong about the Middle East. He still thinks there are military solutions to Middle Eastern

Even the literary critics have to wait until tomorrow for the Blair memoirs – but the book's contents are slowing spilling out onto the Internet this evening. A series of extracts has just been published on the official website, and the Guardian has extensive coverage, including an interview with the man himself. So far, there's nothing too surprising. Blair, for instance, lays int...

Arriving at the railway station this morning, and the newsagent didn’t have The Times, The Telegraph or Financial Times. What is a right winger like me supposed to read? I picked up The Guardian. It is the first time I’ve bought The Guardian in fourteen years. I stopped buying the paper when a friend pointed out that there were 100 specific mentions of Tony Blair in one edition and tha...

Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair’s chief of staff, is the latest veteran of the Brown Blair era to have his say and he is even more vicious about Gordon Brown than Peter Mandelson was. In his memoirs, which are being serialised in The Guardian tomorrow, he says that Blair ‘felt physically threatened’ when Brown leaned over his desk and demanded a departure date in 2001. But the charge...
