The Blair legacy continues to congeal
More slow oozing of revelation about the greatest prime minister we ever had. I hope the historians who Blair says will be his judge are paying attention, I really do:
A newly disclosed Downing Street memo has revealed how Tony Blair helped Rupert Murdoch overcome an official investigation which was jeopardising one of his big investments. It shows that Blair, while prime minister, immediately ordered his top officials to help the tycoon who was frustrated that a potentially lucrative scheme was being blocked by a long-running European commission investigation.
We all knew it, of course, it’s just nice to see it in black and white. I can’t wait to see what comes out next.

It will be interesting to see what else comes out…but I’d be more interested if Blair was actually held to account for any of it.
Not going to hold my breath mind.
