National News 2022 New Year Honours

I'm no fan of Blair, but he did win three elections and spent 11 years as PM.

Also making unpopular decisions will always be part-and-parcel of being PM - whether that be the poll-tax, closing the mines, austerity measures, Brexit. Blair was working on the intelligence he had available to him at the time (albeit flawed), but he did what he thought was in the best interests of the country. Love him or hate him, at least Blair had the power of conviction to stick to his guns, unlike that dithering wimp that we have in charge at the moment.
