Tom Bauss's new book, Broken Vowes Tony Blair reveals how the pair presided over a silent conspiracy to change face of UK. Book reveals how Blair instructed ministers to weigh tens of thousands of asylum seekers into the UK under the cover of their being economic migrants. Tom has 68 words on the good Friday agreement, 68 words. By contrast he has 450 words on un-sourced tittle tackle about a supposed relationship between Blair and Rupert Murdoch's third wife Wendy Deng.
Tony Blair is the man who reinvented Labour, won a landslide majority in 1997 and went on to win three elections, becoming Labour’s longest-serving prime minister. He is also the man accused of lies, hubris, money-making deals and taking us into an illegal war.
This episode features a live event which Intelligence Squared hosted in London in March 2016, when we put Tony Blair on trial and examined his legacy on foreign policy, health, education and much more.
Levelling charges against him was Tom Bower, investigative journalist and author of Broken Vows: Tony Blair and the Tragedy of Power. Defending him was the journalist and Times columnist David Aaronovitch.
This event was originally produced by Hannah Kaye. This series was produced by Farah Jassat and Catharine Hughes, with editing and artwork from Catharine Hughes. Music is by Lesfm.
