Your time has passed, and 3rd way neoconservative foreign policy/neoliberal economic policy was a bad idea when you went into Iraq, and it's a worse idea now:
Tony Blair is positioning himself to return to British politics, it has been reported.New Labour may have been necessary to defeat the Tories in the 1990s (I would argue that Thatcher fatigue paved the way for the that victory), but today, all this is going to do is get more votes for the right wing racist UKIP and ensure that Scotland remains terra incognita for Labout.
The controversial former Prime Minister is engineering a comeback because he feels he can fill a political vacuum caused by Theresa May being a “light weight” and Jeremy Corbyn being a “nutter”, The Sunday Times reports. A source said Mr Blair is sourcing premises near Westminster in order to relocate 130 staff to the UK’s political hub.
A source allegedly told the newspaper: “He’s not impressed with Theresa May. He thinks she’s a total lightweight. He thinks Jeremy Corbyn’s a nutter and the Tories are screwing up Brexit. He thinks there’s a massive hole in British politics that he can fill.”
In response, a representative or Mr Blair reportedly said he has not made a decision to relocate the company there.
The Blairites are a spent force. Ed Millibrand's drubbing following his efforts to be just a little bit less awful than the Tories is proof of this.
Tony Blair is loathed by everyone who isn't a dead-ender member of parliament.
A bit of doggerel on this after the break (Apologies to Dr. Seuss and Art Buchwald):
