The Left on Tony Blair

Guardian: The Dame of the left wing elite Polly Toynbee has a go at former Labour PM Tony Blair, Ms Toynbee writes the following in the Guardian, “ The timing of this book – and its postscript – is a historic act of treachery to his party. ”. Its is the usual critical attack that Tony Blair is a Conservative, well YES of course he is, that is why he won three elections for the Labour Party. The New Labour Agenda under Labour was never a high tax Party, it was Gordon Brown that went old Labour, also his public spending was more old Labour. This is why the elite in the Guardian & Independent support Gordon Brown, they represent old Labour. Also it can be argued that Mr Blair supports the public spending cuts of the new government and the raise in VAT, all policies opposed by Labour. If the Guardian ran Labour the Party it would never bee in power again.
