Politically homeless? Is there hope?

I dislike Tony Blair intensely and any party he is part of would make me avoid it like the plague. However, he did have some good ideas and for that reason alone, I would put my feeling aside to listen to any centrist ideas. I don't think we need radicalism, I think we need a blend of ideas which take the poor and business growth into account.

I wonder if any of the people critical of him have actually listened to the things he has said recently?

Interesting! I also think TB has become less messianic of late, of course it's easier to give an honest opinion and not prevaricate as an individual not constrained by any particular party ethos.

Tony Blair, the only Labour leader to win three consecutive general elections

If Tony Blair is the answer we really are up the creek without a paddle, or even a boat.

Hear, hear

I've thought Tony Blair has been less messianic lately.

There are some good people involved though. Rory Stewart, Ruth Davies for starters.

Realise it's only a conference WW but it gives me a bit of hope.

I do think that you shouldn’t let prejudice dismiss Blair without giving those attending the conference a listen.

I will if it is published as everyone contributing to the national debate - unless they are very, very extreme are worth listening to and then I can add their ideas to my library ? or dismiss them as not for me.

It is a centrist CONFERENCE - not a party.

That would be fine as the more ideas floated that show there is an alternative to this disaster we have for a government at the moment the better in my book.

Not sure about Musk though, now that is a weird idea!

Hmm. I'm reading on Politico that they discussed approaching Elon Musk for funding. That cannot be good.

Agreed Maizie

I don’t know why we aren’t marching on the streets at this point

The involvement of Blair is the kiss of death for many voters.

Rather than trying to set up new centrist parties we'd be much better going for proper PR and government by consensus rather than the adversarial setup we have now.

Nearly, not meaty ?‍♀️

Hallelujah
In the past I had no time at all for Mr Blair; but I’m glad to see him back.
Whether he is the right person is debatable; but I’d vote for very meaty anyone to get rid of this lot.
