He's right about some things - and I think I'd rather have shit Labour in power than any Tories.
But he's also very selective with the information he chooses.
I liked the part where he talks about what united Labour in the 1940s, despite the relative extremes of Bevin and Bevan.
But he has to accept his part in making the divides in Labour irreconcilable since 2015.
By all accounts, Corbyn and his team were very poor people managers, and very abrasive - but he was undermined consistently by people who seemed incredibly bitter that they weren't getting their way, and so it's a bit rich for Blair to talk about the lack of a shared vision now.

Who are these mysterious forces? Could they be the people that Corbyn and co didn't spend years of prep work aligning so that once they had power, exercising it was easy?
Isn't this just one of many consequences of putting someone in a leadership role who historically has not made any plans to lead, so hasn't done the groundwork. The imposter syndrome on its own must have been crushing.

I can't really see how Blair is responsible for that.

But he's RIGHT, isn't he. I don't care which side of the party you're on, if you can't hear the truth of what he's saying we're all in trouble.
