Twitter reacts to Blair’s new statements

So former prime minister-turned-businessman, Tony Blair, has declared an interest in returning to UK politics.

The British public has far from forgotten Blair’s mistakes, however, most notably declaring war on Iraq and the disaster that followed. In any ghastly political situation, Twitter will have something both funny and insightful to say, so we thought it best to round up the best reactions to the news.

Some resorted to classic British cynicism…

Quite right too! It is, of course, supposed to be a two-Murdoch-run-ideologically-identical-parties state. #TonyBlair pic.twitter.com/NU0y2xpnkf

Is #tonyblair thinking to join Labour, or would it just be easier for him to put on a blue tie?

…While others looked at how the US have dealt with him.

Others were just brutally honest.

I take everything back I said about Jeremy… Just, please, don’t let that creep back in!#TonyBlair

#TonyBlair hints at return to politics over fears #Britain is becoming a ‘one-party state’

and i read it “threatens” not “hints”

There was, however, at least one Blair fan.

Only bit of good news in this mad world that we live in. Hope he comes back and others like Alastair Campbell return too #tonyblair #Labour
