I knew you'd bite on that. Iraq was wrong yes - and that's not news. But the left's hatred for Blair and the narrative of his whole premiership as a failure (which is totally untrue) is one of things that opened the door for David Cameron. That's part of what I mean by the bigger picture.
Peace in Northern Ireland, every A&E modernised, a minimum wage, devolution, huge steps towards equality, progressive welfare policies, significant investment in education, Sure Start, etc. etc. etc. Blair changed the very landscape of Britain and I would say largely for the better. Characterise it as sweet PPI and you're doing the Tories work for them.
More importantly he made Labour electable - how's Corbyn doing with that?
Fox
Anyone with a brain who was able to step back and look at the bigger picture would.
I can't be arsed to find all the achievements of Labour while he was in office again but it's a huge list. But no the liberal left are always IRAQ MAN like that was the only thing that ever happened during his tenure.
