It now seems Tony Blair misled Parliament about the Iraq war from the very start. These revelations that Blair ordered a secret preparation for war shows an appalling level of incompetence not previously known. As his orders were so secret too few people were able to begin to adequately prepare.
Progress (in Sierra Leone) is no longer measured by an absence of conflict
Tony Blair consistently denied to Parliament and public that the U.K. government was preparing for war in Iraq, yet these documents show that planning began as far back as 2002
and then here we are at a school which is getting new classrooms to get more children get education. There is a lot happening in Rwanda today and I am very proud and feel a very good sense of honour to be part of it
When that happened, a lot of horse trading went on ... Britain, Spain and Italy wanted Blair because they wanted an international statesman capable to straddling the world stage. This seems to have frightened the Germans and, eventually, the French. They want President Obama to continue phoning them, no...
The fact that there is a development board and it is here to help is a huge sign of Rwanda's potential but perhaps more important, Rwanda's determination to make the most of itself as shown by its recent ranking in the doing business report
After all the ballyhoo about the treaty helping to make Europe a stronger voice in the world etc, the first appointments were really a bit disappointing The job description was definitely not someone to 'stop the traffic' like Tony Blair [former British prime minister], but more a person able to build a...
In Europe, in particular, we should play a part in keeping the world trading system open and vibrant ... We need the financial sector to be independent and creative.
I am bewildered that Hague would want to support Van Rompuy, who has a rather more federalist agenda than other prime ministers in Europe. Hague can’t see straight in the British interest, so obsessed is he [with stopping Tony Blair].
The Palestinian economy on the West Bank is growing strongly ... obviously it's also important we find a way to re-launch the political negotiations.
Having lost so much middle-class support over Iraq and alienation from Tony Blair, Labour now has to mobilise its core working-class base in order to win re-election next year.
Wataniya Mobile's launch of commercial operations in the West Bank is an important milestone in the building of a prosperous and competitive Palestinian economy
I have written at length over the years about my opposition to Tony Blair and New Labour, arguing against the Iraq war, top-up fees, trident nuclear defence, lack of house building, the behaviour of MPs and much more. Standing for Parliament in opposition to New Labour is therefore the logical thing to ...
Queensland can be at the forefront of the green economic revolution, so I believe climate change is and will remain a defining issue for our generation
Overall there is the sense that Afghanistan is becoming for (British Prime Minister) Gordon Brown what Iraq became for (his predecessor) Tony Blair
He's not standing by the phone waiting for a call from Brussels. He's been around long enough to realise what happens at summits.
Overall there is the sense that Afghanistan is becoming for Gordon Brown what Iraq became for Tony Blair: more than four in ten don't understand Britain's mission, support for the British presence there is ebbing away, and a majority have responded to the (Afghan) presidential election very negatively i...
Britain to lead in Europe again
In England, they are bringing up a case against (former British prime minister) Tony Blair.
One of the things we've been trying to organise is a statement by the rabbinate and the Christian leaders and the Muslim leaders about Jerusalem and about Jerusalem being an open city or worship for people of all the Abrahamic faiths
When considering your efforts to get Tony Blair this job, won't most people in Britain feel this: it is completely unacceptable to see an unelected Prime Minister pushing for an unelected president under a treaty that no one was allowed to vote for?
This is more difficult that all the negotiations where I have been involved including the Middle East peace process and NATO ... However, there is a way — we must distinguish short term and long term targets. 2020 is a long way ahead. The enormous cost savings that can be achieved if countries act toget...
I personally think the (incumbent) Labour Party in England, Tony Blair (Gordon Brown's predecessor as prime minister) and company, thought they owed so much to The Sun. They didn't. Blair would have been elected without (The Sun's) support.
We the British government believe that Tony Blair would be an excellent candidate and an excellent person to hold the job of president of the (EU) council
