Tony Blair
Manage episode 438028961 series 2950812
As the new Labour government gets to work after its landslide victory - and the first complete change in the party of government for 14 years, Sir Tony Blair sits down with Amol Rajan to share his thoughts on the future of Britain and western democracy. With riots on the streets, surging populism, economic hardship and a war in Europe among the challenges the UK faces, what did Sir Tony's 10 years in power teach him about how we should address the catalogue of crises confronting us now? One of the longest serving prime ministers of the 20th century, Sir Tony went from feted to hated. He came to power saying a new dawn had broken, and left office a decade later having won three elections and taken the country to war in Iraq, a decision whose fall out is still felt today. Now Sir Tony is 71, and with a new book out on leadership and the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change now working with over 30 countries, the former prime minister has lessons to share.
