Tony Blair is as out of touch as ever
‘Having him on your side must feel a bit like inheriting death duties’ says Independent Labour Peer
The independent Labour Peer, Lord Stoddart of Swindon, commenting on Tony Blair’s support for the EU and for the remain campaign said: “Once again Mr Blair demonstrates his complete failure to understand how real people think on these issues. He has the modern politician’s ‘I know best’ disease mixed with a complete lack of affinity with the voters and, more worryingly, with working people who have suffered the most from the mass immigration his Government started and which has led to job losses and wage cuts.
“He could not be trusted on the EU when in office, promising us a referendum on the EU Constitution and reneging on it, so he certainly can’t be trusted now.
“The remain campaign must be rueing the day he joined their ranks. Having Tony Blair on your side in this campaign must feel a bit like inheriting death duties!”
