- Tony Blair has warned Labour that the party he used to lead will be "replaced" as a serious political entity if it tries to "whitewash" the scale of its defeat at the general election.
Ex-PM Blair has given a speech after unveiling new research which indicates that the reasons why people didn't vote for Labour go "far deeper" than the party's Brexit stance and the unpopularity of Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Blair is adamant that unless it changes course, the party faces electoral oblivion.

Why doesn’t this fool just go away.
@Jord Williams I agree but then he's also responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and the destabilisation of an entire country, so... Maybe difficult to listen to for some people
@Max Paine Incorrect.
@14ALL41OK What war crimes has he been convicted of?
@Mark Morrison His view is correct and backed by election victories. Yours is moribund and backed by feelings.
Why doesn’t Corbyn be deported to Gaza?
As Blair ages you can see more of his inner gremlin.
Can’t stand him or his wife, she has a face like a blind cobblers thumb
Demonic possession
🤣
I am guessing you are a Brit, cause that there is a quintessential brilliant Brit wordplay.
Remind me again... why is this war criminal not in prison?
Same reason as to why Margaret Thatcher wasn’t convicted for inciting the Falklands War.
It was the Labour party and Libdems that drove a wedge of Brexit division in to this country!
They should have respected the result of the referendum.
cookupastorm The result of the referendum was way too close to call it fair though (52 to 48). Of course there would be division caused by the people who are represented by the parties. Stop pointing out the obvious, thanks.
Freya Bailey A vote is still a vote. Trump only just beat Hillary not by much, and you don’t see the Americans calling for another election. Called democracy
cookupastorm true but ive zero interest in what phoney blair thinks went wrong when hes part of the problem
But most labour voters voted to remain. If labour had simply called itself a Brexit party it probably would have lost even more seats. And wouldn’t be seen as a legitimate Brexit party because most of it campaigned to remain in the referendum.

And Corbyn should be deported to Gaza.
Look at the state of him now! All that guilt has obviously been eating away at him.
I doubt it, people like him are sociopaths.
Guilt has nothing to do with it. It's about losing.
He's got nothing to feel guilty about. He went to war based on information gained from somebody else that he believed to be true. If Saddam had remained in power he would have killed millions. It was the right decision and most people knew it at the time.
robbiexxxxxx is parroting blair here, word for word.
He's 68 years old now. That's why he looks like an old man, you weirdos. Because he is.
The last time Labour won an election without this man as leader was 1976. LOL.
His advertising campaign was convincing.
Like him or hate him he was spitting straight facts *BA Bo be be ba ba di ba Bo*
Then after such a long wait, this piece of work got in, committed war crimes, then his pals literally invented the unconstitutional "supreme" court just to keep Blair out of the Hague for war crimes.
This is the most misleading comment, you cant just excluded the fact that Labour was in government for 13 years and say, they haven't won an election without this man since 1974.
Out of the last 7 election Labour has won 3 The Conservatives have won 2 with 2 draws. In the last 22 years the conservatives have won 2 elections. Now how misleading would it be for me to say that.
@@jjosephs6521 My point was. Labour hate him yet without him they have been a complete failure. A lot would argue he was a failure too when he was in power. Many of them still think moving more to the left is a good strategy. Lol
@Jo Humphreys Momentum runs the party.
People really seem to forget all of the good things he done as PM, and just remember the war
So true
This coming from the man who said the decision to leave or stay in the EU was too important to leave to the electorate.
And he was bang on....Brexit is not just about immigration
Paul we vote based on emotion then justify it with ‘factual’ information after. If we decide we want referendums as a method of deciding this we accept the emotional whims of the electorate will decide our future. That’s what happened here. Direct democracy seems pretty dire after having a conversation with the average voter.
And in respect to Brexit, like his critiques of Corbyn, have been proven correct in virtually every way.
That's actually a very accurate and true thing. That's why we have a parliament, to deal with difficult things like brexit.
@@JoeMartinMusic So we should just dispense with democracy should we???
They keep going on about young people. Its always been the way. Every decade. As Dave Gilmour said "we were all socialists until we started making money".
tfw you realize that Tony Blair wasn’t a socialist
I wish you had had a little "comic indecision" before in invading Iraq on the basis of WMDs that weren't there.
There were WMDs there ya clown. You don't even know what WMDs are.
Google what they are, Google the history of sadam hussein then leave your apology underneath.
Very few people on the planet understand and can predict the economic consequences of not going to war. Do you think explaining economics at the highest level (even Tony wouldn't have understood the maths) on TV would make him a popular person and make the public ok with us going to war? Of course it wouldn't. Blair must have had economic reasons for going to war, but don't be an idiot! Leave the fight for our share of the earth's resources to people a lot cleverer than us...even if you don't understand why governments have to lie / give a different reason about why they are going to war.
Labour is stuffed
From the man that took us to war
Illegal one at that
@@Deke1 No Islamic terrorist attacked us until we joined the states after 9 11 attacks.

@@henrykearns929 Damn, that's gone well hasn't it
Dont forget Tony Blair, as charismatic and positive as he was at first, walked out of his job mid-term as PM because they screwed the economy up and there was no money left. He forced Gordon Brown on us, an unelected PM and the party finally left a note saying "there's no more money" for the Tory government to fix. I just cannot over-look that series of events, try as I might. Plus a slew of others.
Nick Thorp Don’t forget it was called the Global financial crisis for a reason
Brown sold our gold
That’s not correct the US subprime mortgage crisis that led to the financial crash was after Blair left office. They actually didn’t screw anything up. If Brown had not deficit spent in a recession (you should always) but instead made spending cuts, then economic activity would have gone down so much that they’d have lost more in tax revenue than they actually cut in spending, leading to more debt. Its a myth what you’re insinuating. State budgets are not comparable to household budgets, they are much more complicated
I remember Blairs term in office very well , I will never vote Labour again. Disgraceful the note that was left “there’s no money left , good luck” which is why we have had 10 years of cut backs and austerity to try and repair the damage
@Damian Papadimitropoulos He had control over the UK's finances. Whether the world went pop or not, we shouldn't have been in such national debt mess. Bailing the banks out and the cost of reducing hundreds of thousands local government jobs increased the debt. The yearly interest on the national debt is greater than the NHS wage bill.
It must smart a little knowing his ‘Sedgefield’ constituency is now Tory lol
Thanks to your buddy Corbyn!
@@ronanosiochain9849 Lervish
Not really as he is a Tory all said & done. Money & war neoliberalism are his gods
He would prefer a Tory Government to democratic socialist one, he has way more in common with Tories , than socialists
Blair doesn’t care for anything like that he’s too selfish ..
Makes my skin crawl.
........And still nobody cares what Blair thinks.
Well they must care because there on a video of and leaving comments
@Ian Brown makes me laugh when people say that Tony Blair should be murdad or in prison when yet a majority of these people boat his book stil pooring money in this man's pocket when yet they call him a murder.
i remember tony blair coming on the tele and agreeing with what he said every time " yes he is right"
then a month later thinking hang on what they are doing and what he said they are doing is two different things. WMD a million people stood on the street and told him not to attack iraq. His mouth works perfectly his ears have a problem.
Tony Blair is such an invaluable public figure. He's one of the few people that unite the left and right through their hatred of him.
Exactly. Anyone to the right or left of him he labels 'extremists'. When he was PM it was both the right and left coming out protesting against him.
The right don't hate Blair, they simply lean toward a different ideology. It is the left who tend to hate, they hated Thatcher AND they hated Blair and show their simplistic perceptions by comparing them to be equivalent.
He forgot to mention that he is the real leader of the Labour Party which he manages on behalf of JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.
Yep, he is their puppet, he still controls the Labour party on their behalf, dont forget they made him PM !
Isnt it Goldman Sachs that run a fund on behalf of John McDonnell.....
kal77uk I didn’t know that, could you give us more details?
Funded by international bankers? That would explain his 30 houses. Self indulgent excesses for Tony and tribe and skid row for the masses!
Tony Blair having won a lot of labour support lost it all because of the following.
1. Legal war in Iraq.
2. Not restricting number of immigrants from former eastern block countries( other eu countries did).
3. Pushing people in the labour party for second referendum and undermining corbyn who is a really wants Brexit.
True corbyn is not much of a leader but Blair has caused way more damage.
1 Illegal
2 agree and Corbyn was worse than Blair on immigration.
3 lib dems did even worse that night, but not sure about Corbyn being a true leaver.
@@chriswatson3464 At least Corbyn would do that for compassionate reasons. With Blair it was for cheap labour and there were people in the hospitality industry losing their existing jobs for Eastern Europeans. I met one of them. They didn't come over to fill jobs that British people didn't want to do.
I wish this man would just shut up and go away. We should only see him in court charged with war crimes
I wish you would shut up and accept the fact that Corbyn was so unelectable and no left-winger has ever won a general election for the Labour Party and never will.
Sir Keir Starmer for PM.
And so should had Margaret Thatcher for instigating the Falklands War.
Gardening's a good retirement occupation Tony.
Michael Edwards Or sweeping the prison yard...
A suitable idea for Corbyn.
One dangerous man, with blood on his hands..
Like IRA and Hezbollah supporter Corbyn then.
@@andrew6978And Hamas who Corbyn had shared platforms with as well as members of the IRA and Hezbollah, calling them friends.
Leave aside “but it’s Tony Blair” his analysis is spot on. The UK desperately needs a proper opposition, that actually has a shot at winning elections
Like him or loathe him, he was still the best PM of modern times.
@@kazamshah4543 you kidding me ?, he conned the public, left the country with £1.5trillion debt before Gordon Brown kicked him out as PM?
kazam Shah yeah ... you one of his Middle East mates? Still deluded!
he is puking with frustration. he can discuss all he wants. in the labour canteen
Why’s he acting like anything he says carries any weight
Bliar is deluded, most of the young people I know or have spoken to, wanted to leave the EUSSR
Oh, the classic “that’s not what my mates think”. Check any opinion poll that goes beyond your bubble. Otherwise you’re just feeding your own delusion. Young people are heavily in favour of the EU.
@@grantmalone Millennials have been brainwashed into believing there country it not good enough to make it's own way its ridiculous you kids are scared and anxious of everything! Go get a real job and live in the real world. It's all due to our soft education system!
@@grantmalone Nope, I talked to a group earlier today, of 40, only two voted for the Marxist Corbyn.
You probably need to go look how Labour decimated the NHS and how it was Labour who first wanted to privatize the NHS.
Maybe when you come off benifit and get a job, do something useful, you will open your eyes to reality instead of being a leech on society.
@@padgepadgham3238 We were talking about young people being pro-EU, not just pro-Labour (which they also are). According to YouGov, the percentages of young people who voted for Remain/2nd Referendum parties were: 18-24 77% (56% Labour), 25-29 74% (54%), 30-39 68% (46%). These stats are readily available to anyone who cares to deal with reality. But you're going to ignore them because you talked to a small group that is wildly unrepresentative of the country at large? I stand by my previous comment.
@@grantmalone That is not my experience where I live and in the sourounding area. The day after the election, a excited 18 year old came into the surgery asking everyone were they happy with the result, everyone said they were relived and happy with the result. Probably a 60/40 Over 40s to under 20s age group.
The EU was a good idea after WW2, but we have all moved on, now it has a federal & globalist agenda. Look Grey, there is no democracy when you cant vote people out. Thats a Ben Labour quote btw.
The EU stifles competition and initiative, they use refugees as a tool to take away national identity, destroying the indiginous working class.
Corbyn is well known to me, he went to a school near here and I can assure you, he is all for leaving the EU, but being used as a puppet by the marxist faction.
Well there you are Grey, Agree or not, its stay with a failing EU, due for breaking up, or a new future with a vibrant economy in a free UK.
Dianne Abbott must have done the maths for this comedian on how many remainer labour had
Why is this man still at large? He is a treacherous warmonger.
So was Margaret Thatcher and Corbyn is a supporter of warmongers and terrorists.
I thought people wanted to stop brexit Tony?
Thank you Tony by helping people decide that they did not want to vote labour
Tony is only half right on this. Yes, Corbyn and his socialist policies turned off a lot of moderates and centrists and working class pragmatists, but Brexit crossed the traditional party lines and the political establishment's relentless quest to undermine, fudge and/or flat out revoke the result in some way was the final straw. Working class voters want Brexit. They want to limit immigration. They want the government to focus on the UK, not the EU. They want want to reject the woke liberal middle class elites. So by Labour essentially trying to pull a con with a second referendum (which we all knew was Remain vs Soft Remain) it all added up to this polemic shift. You don't get to threaten to overturn a democratic vote just because you don't like the outcome, but now those metropolitan elites understand the consequences of trying. 12th December 2019 was not just a win for the Conservatives, it was a win for democracy.
The UK has the same problem as Australia. Our ex PM’s won’t go away and retire. They think we want to know what they think or hear what they have to say. WE DONT. Just go away.
Respect the will of the people.
Thank you, Tony, for all the tremendous social reforms you enacted.
They just don't get it... The government asked us what we wanted! We told you, so we expect you to act. Not tell us how stupid we are for making a decision, irrelevant of how good or bad it is for the country we have chosen this, so let make the best of it !
1:56 "Now i take very seriously the argument that we deserted or disrespected our working class voters by reopening the referendum result. But the problem with this is that there was no way of uniting the country over Brexit." Rubbish. If all main parties, the day after the result, had said we must observe the result, remainers would have followed suit. It was YOUR persistent campaign to reverse it, that gave credence to the notion it could be cancelled. It was YOUR persistence that kept that "remainer wound" open, dangling that hope we could still remain, stopping the "greaving process" from happening on the remainer side. There would be virtually no divide if we had had 3 years of KNOWING we were definitely leaving, to get used to that reality.
Except that's not how democracy works is it? It's a bit like saying that since the Tories won the last election, labour should give them reign and not try and get them out at the earliest opportunity. None of the leave people did that after the 1975 referendum, and nobody expected them too. It's not how democracy works.
mr globalist himself.. my god he still doesn't get it..
@Bunny Spangle He's the one that opened our borders for almost anybody to come in. Which has ravaged our NHS since and caused property demand to be at an all time high.
@Bunny Spangle Obviously there's always been immigration. But Blair was the one that introduced the Open Border policy in the UK for EU migrants. Which is why immigration has been a hot topic since. The problem isn't necessarily the people coming in to the country. Its the amount.
@Bunny Spangle Yes they did. Search it
Sorry not interested in what this man ever has to say!!!
What he said Labour should've done is exactly what Boris Johnson did and thats why he kicked your ass in the election
If Labour were a party of principle and democracy they would of respected the referendum, they got what they deserved.
Totally agree about democracy, but they tried to buy the public vote, they must think we are stupid.
You can only see his top half he's standing on a pile of skulls.
Crawl back under your rock...
And so should Corbyn.
Who let him out of jail... ?
Nobody, he’s never been in jail.
The Labour Party is still struggling to remove the stench of your time in office, and your current and ongoing interference is not helping either.. just go away.
Came for the likes to dislikes ratio, was not disappointed
I hate him but at least he’s not ignorant like the rest of labour😂 he accepts reality
Why is he interfering . He made a great mess of our country and the lives of our young men who died in his war. It’s an insult to them and us. GET HIM OFF!
He was even more of a war mongerer than Thatcher. Second only to Neville Chamberlain and David Lloyd George.
That was Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Nigel Farage has done more damage to Britain in the 21st Century than anybody.
Blair the Tory....he has and never had a socialist bone in his criminal body...

What a surprise,Tony Blair rearing his ugly head,not having seen or heard of him or John major since the election result I thought they we're both on life support due to the shock.
Tony Blair the people would reject you even more today
Amazing his strategy would have resulted in the same. As a Labour Remainer he has responsibility for what happened by persuading people towards a failed electoral strategy.
He was the ultimate Eurofanatic. No-one was more Eurofanatical than him other than Nick Clegg. He wanted the UK to join the Eurozone but Gordon Brown stopped him.
Blair is hated because of his success. The right can't stand that.
Who cares what he says. He’s had his day. Why doesn’t he just disappear with his squeaky voice
Its done,dusted,history,get over it,the people have seen through you ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
According to the war monger, Blair, the Labour Party is "marooned on fantasy Island." Fantasy Island, as most people of a certain age know, was a remote tropical island, run by the enigmatic Mr. Roarke, who makes the secrets of his well-heeled guest come true, although twists of fate occasionally turn those dreams into nightmares. Mr. Roarke was assisted by Tattoo, a little person who could be trusted to sing out, "Da plane! Da plane!" as each group of guests arrived.
The Labour Party is going to need more help than Fantasy Island can provide, they are in a very dark place at the moment, and with any luck, I hope they stay there, the best place for them.
Hind sight is 20/20. Should have given his advice to Labour leaders right after Brexit Referendum.
Dont like Blair but he isn't wrong
ASHTHEBLADE agreed
Things Can Only Get Better
Labour left the working class under blair.. And has continued ever since... Labour now represents the metropolitan middle class.. It was only a matter of time before the working class turned there back on labour..
Whatever your feelings on him, he pretty much nailed that analysis
Who cares what he has to say
labour party if they have any sense
He's deservedly not a popular figure but what he says here is 100% correct.
For once I agree with his analysis but, as a leaver, it was providential that Labour had Corbin in charge. I disagree with him on one point - I don’t think parliament could have gone on without having an election. Their obstructionism would have become more and more obvious. That would have been “crazy politics”.
Labour party had it so lucky under Tony Blair and this is coming from an American Conservative.
Excellent analysis by Tony Blaire about the causes of Labour’s loss in the elections.
i love jeremy corbyn now that i see the men who hate him
Jeremy Corbyn supports the murderous figures of the IRA, Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups and brutal dictatorships including Putin.
3:18 Lol isn't that what pretty much happened and what Corbyn tried to do? Blair has seriously gone insane and doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
This guy is the cause of all the problems today, I don't get how some people still hail him as a great leader when his government spanked all the money in the treasury leading to austerity
As much as I don’t like Blair, who won more elections
