Mr Blair, wants to re-engage with British politics after amassing an estimated £20million fortune since leaving office five years ago

Tony Blair could be set for a dramatic return to frontline British politics after it emerged today he recently advised President Obama on his re-election campaign.

The former prime minister is preparing a new push to re-enter British politics alongside current Labour leader Ed Miliband, who recently suggested space could be found for Mr Blair on his team.

Former Labour leader Mr Blair 'has things to say' and has even offered Barack Obama private advice on renewal in office and re-election, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

Mr Blair is expected to launch his comeback as he appears on a joint platform with Labour leader Ed Miliband in July at an event to celebrate the Olympics.

The event could prove hugely divisive among Labour supporters, though Mr Blair is thought to believe that enough time has passed for people to have forgotten the disastrous effect of the Iraq war on his image and how he was humiliatingly forced from office by Gordon Brown.

The move to also hire a public relations expert is proof that Mr Blair wants to be heard on a range of subjects.

The spin doctor will also attempt to portray Mr Blair's cash schemes - such as charging up to £300,000 for after-dinner speeches - in a more positive light.

It is thought Mr Blair has been secretly seeing groups of new Labour MPs under the banner of the Progress group, as he plots his way back in to the British political limelight.

Six months ago, the ex-prime minister is said to have seen President Obama privately to offer him re-election advice.

Mr Blair has targeted old allies and members of the 2010 intake, advising on how to target the Tories and the Liberal Democrats, who he believes made a historic error by joining the Coalition.

Mr Miliband’s aides say the pair now talk ‘regularly’ – code for chats every few weeks – about domestic politics and foreign affairs.

Mr Blair’s aides think the time is right for him to speak out in the UK. They believe enough time has passed since he was driven from office in 2007 on a wave of disgust at the Iraq War.

A source close to Mr Blair said: ‘He wants to re-engage in the UK. He has things to say and he thinks it’s the right time.

‘The question is how he re-enters the UK scene without re-entering domestic politics and interfering with the Labour Party.

'He wants to intervene where he can add value to political debate, but it will be above party politics.’

Mr Miliband opposed the war in Iraq but respects Mr Blair as one of the most accomplished political message-makers of his time.

Rachel Grant will take up her role later this month, overseeing the former prime minister’s personal public relations and taking charge of the communications strategy for his extensive business operations.

Her appointment has been seen in the PR industry as an attempt to rebuild Mr Blair’s reputation at home, following adverse publicity over his money-spinning ventures.

He has attracted criticism for combining his business interests with charitable work and his Middle East role and is thought to have amassed a fortune in excess of £20million in the five years since he left Downing Street and stepped down as MP for Sedgefield, County Durham, which he had served since 1983.

Mr Blair has also amassed a property portfolio, including homes in London and country retreats, that at one point was worth £15m.

He has also been criticised for earning cast sums for his after-dinner speeches. He charges up to £250,000 a time for just 90 minutes.

Miss Grant previously worked in No 10 as a senior press officer, going on to be head of news at the Department for Work and Pensions and then the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Spotlight on Blair's close link to Murdoch as hacking inquiry resumes
Karen Kissane
September 6, 2011

LONDON: As Britain's hacking inquiry resumes today, new light has been shed on the closeness between Rupert Murdoch and former Labour prime minister Tony Blair, who turns out to be godfather to one of the media mogul's children.

In a separate development, Murdoch company News International is accused of using private detectives to spy on three lawyers who are running cases for hacking victims.

The godfather revelation is in an article in which Mr Murdoch's wife, the normally media-shy Wendi Murdoch, spoke to Vogue magazine. Vogue says Mr Blair was present in March last year at a baptism of her daughters Grace and Chloe on the banks of the River Jordan.

The Telegraph...

Could Tony Blair come back to UK politics in an elected House of Lords?

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQopDrSCwecnTZCL5vqwEcuOFIzOQAmOnm7wT26imsdpHtMoXvwA

That headline is not designed to be a Question to Which The Answer Is No. I really do wonder if an elected House of Lords will provide Blair with a way to get back into British politics.

Blair is feeling very restless. The former Labour leader is, friends say, feeling aggrieved that so many of his fellow Britons think that he is now hardly ever here. The perception is that he is only interested in the money-making opportunities, sorry I mean policy challenges, in countries overseas. He has even hired a communications advisor to help him "re-engage" with the UK. That is classic Blair. Rather than hiring a spin-doctor to re-engage, why not just re-engage?

But Blair is far from old and he clearly misses office. With a seat in the reformed Lords it would become a possibility once again. Some will say that this is a cast-iron reason for MPs to vote down Lords reform. But if reform does gets through, being a Senator under the system designed by Nick Clegg would surely be much more agreeable to Blair than being an MP. Clegg says Senators will only have to face the electorate once every 15 years. They will also be paid more than MPs, something which may appeal to Mrs Blair.

Then there is the top job to aim for again. If Lords reform unbalances the current system (which it will), it leaves the way open for more senior cabinet ministers to come from the Lords. Are we then that far away from a day in which once again a Prime Minister hails from the Lords rather than the Commons?

Tony Blair's second act. Just think of the look on Gordon Brown's face.

Now, how would such a development be greeted by British voters? Don't all shout at once.

Tony Blair 'May Return To Domestic Politics'

PA | Posted: 20/05/2012 12:37 Updated: 20/05/2012 12:37

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair may form part of a "call to arms" to keep the UK together and grow its economy, it has been suggested.

Alistair Darling, who held several cabinet posts in the Blair administration before becoming Chancellor of the Exchequer under Gordon Brown, today confirmed that he will play a major part in the No to Independence campaign.

He also welcomed reports that Blair is returning to domestic politics.

"He's got a lot to contribute and I hope he'll contribute more in the future," Darling told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.

He said: "The context here is that there are a growing number of people who recognise that unless we can get growth going in the economy, then the standards of living of people in this country, and their jobs prospects are going to be so much worse.

"It's interesting. The centre of political gravity is shifting. You can see that the Tories are rattled by this.

"Why else would David Cameron be calling for growth in Europe, something that he has conspicuously failed to do in the two years that he has been Prime Minister.

"So I welcome, you know, this is a call to arms, if you like, whether it's the constitution in Scotland or whether it's the economy in whole United Kingdom, this is the time for people to stand up and be counted."

Darling said he will have no difficulty working with political opponents in the No to Independence campaign.

He said: "I think it would be ridiculous to say, well, I'm not going to cooperate with someone who actually agrees with me.

"You know, you'll see some odd bedfellows on the other side of the argument I suspect."

However, Labour's leader in Scotland Johann Lamont today cast doubt on whether the referendum will be held at all.

"Alex Salmond seems to have learned the wrong lesson from Tony Blair," wrote Ms Lamont in the Scotland on Sunday.

"The lesson from Blair is not that cosying up to Rupert Murdoch is the key to success.

"Rather, it's when you have won a landslide call your referendum quick.

"After the landslide of 1997, Tony Blair called the referendum on devolution within four months. He built on his momentum.

"The fact that even at the height of his popularity Alex Salmond didn't want to call his referendum suggests he believed he would lose. Indeed, he said as much to one of Rupert Murdoch's papers last week.

"We will be ready when - perhaps, if - the referendum comes and will not be complacent."

A Labour spokesman said: "This is a once in a lifetime chance for Alex Salmond, and Johann is making the point that maybe he will chicken out.

"What if it gets to 2014 and Salmond sees the way the polls are going, thinks he can't win and pulls it?"

I really should'nt open myself up for what I'm about to say here...

But if that happens and even worse still 'If it actually eventuates'..?

I'm going to 'Kill Myself'..!

Don't do that Jack it looks like its on TPTB cards, he converted to the Catholic faith and has been kept on the back burner.....

The individual called the Beast and Antichrist in the Bible was predicted to rise in the latter times when the Jews would rebuild Jerusalem again. he is destined to become a mediator and broker of sorts between Israel and her Muslim enemies. the prophecies predict that this man will be charismatic and extremely deceptive to not only the Jews but the entire world.
and will by peace destroy many. he can only offer a humanistic solution and therefore only a temporary peace to the region. this video also describes who is a likely candidate to become the Antichrist and the identity of the individual who may become the Beast of Rev 13:

This is the man who managed to make Margaret Thatcher look sincere; the man who ranks alongside Ted Heath in his ability to make my skin crawl; the first "brand" politician, a forerunner of Obama with his lies and false promises; a man who looks to have provided the genetic material to produce that ghastly, repulsive creature known as Julia Gillard.

But the frightening thing is, there are an aaaaaaawful lot of people in Britain who are stupid enough to vote for the bastard.

Mark my words - this odious little sh1t will be the first president of the NWO government.

PS - It's difficult for me to express in words just how much I loathe this nauseating specimen of humanity, I've done my best, now I'll go and vomit.

[Cidersomerset]

I think he was the tenplate for TPTB for their conveyor belt of 'New world order ' Lackys , masquerading as world leaders.... Bush snr then Clinton started
the ball rolling,and in the android meme of the 90's smooth media operators were seen as the way to manipulate the public thru people like Murdoch and
other corporate media..

We are now in the digital meme and for the first time the web has empowered everyone to get on the electronic highway via the web..
The problem is no one knows where this highway will take us ....Freedom !! or will TPTB find a way to put us back in the 'Pen' !

Why doesn't he just strap a parachute on his back and get dropped into power like he did last time ?

Bush and Blair's pre-Iraq conversation must be disclosed, tribunal rules
Foreign Office loses appeal against release of extracts from phone call that took place a few days before invasion
Richard Norton-Taylor
guardian.co.uk, Monday 21 May 2012
Extracts of a phone conversation between Tony Blair and George Bush a few days before the invasion of Iraq must be disclosed, a tribunal has ruled.

The Foreign Office lost an appeal against an order by the information commissioner, Christopher Graham, to disclose records of the conversation between the two leaders on 12 March 2003. Graham's order was made in response to a freedom of information request by Stephen Plowden, a private individual who demanded disclosure of the entire record of the conversation.

"Accountability for the decision to take military action against another country is paramount," Graham had said in his original order.

Upholding that ruling on Monday, Judge John Angel, president of the information tribunal, said Foreign Office witnesses had downplayed the importance of a decision to go to war, a view the tribunal found "difficult to accept".

The tribunal added: "Also in our view, particularly from the evidence in this case, the circumstances surrounding a decision by a UK government to go to war with another country is always likely to be of very significant public interest, even more so with the consequences of this war."

It said parts of the phone call between Blair and Bush recording what the former British prime minister said must be disclosed. The two men are believed to have discussed UN resolutions on Iraq and a television interview given by Jacques Chirac, then French president, on 10 March 2003. Blair repeatedly blamed Chirac for the failure to get a second UN security council resolution backing an invasion of Iraq.

Extracts of a phone conversation between Tony Blair and George Bush a few days before the invasion of Iraq must be disclosed, a tribunal has ruled.

The Foreign Office lost an appeal against an order by the information commissioner, Christopher Graham, to disclose records of the conversation between the two leaders on 12 March 2003.

Upholding that ruling on Monday, Judge John Angel, president of the information tribunal, said Foreign Office witnesses had downplayed the importance of a decision to go to war, a view the tribunal found "difficult to accept".

The tribunal added: "Also in our view, particularly from the evidence in this case, the circumstances surrounding a decision by a UK government to go to war with another country is always likely to be of very significant public interest, even more so with the consequences of this war."

It said parts of the phone call between Blair and Bush recording what the former British prime minister said must be disclosed. The two men are believed to have discussed UN resolutions on Iraq and a television interview given by Jacques Chirac, then French president, on 10 March 2003. Blair repeatedly blamed Chirac for the failure to get a second UN security council resolution backing an invasion of Iraq.

Jack Straw, then foreign secretary, claimed in evidence to the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war that Chirac made it clear France would not back a fresh UN resolution "whatever the circumstances".

Straw added: "I don't think there was any ambiguity."

The issue is important because the Blair government claimed Chirac's interview killed off all hope of a diplomatic solution. Straw's claims were contradicted by Sir John Holmes, then UK ambassador to France. He told Chilcot that Chirac's words were "clearly ambiguous". One interpretation, Holmes said, was that Chirac was simply warning that France would veto a fresh UN resolution at that time as UN weapons inspectors had not been given a proper chance to do their job.

Clare Short, international development secretary at the time, accused Blair in the tribunal hearing of "clearly, deliberately misleading the French position".

Angus Lapsley, a Foreign Office official responsible for US-UK relations, argued against disclosure on the grounds that Britain had "a uniquely close and privileged relationship with the US". He added that there was "no comparator" in terms of the "breadth and depth" of the UK's relationship with the US, which was vital to Britain's national interests.

A spokesman for the Foreign Office, which has 30 days to disclose the information or appeal, said it was "obviously disappointed by the decision of the tribunal". He added: "We will want to study the terms of the judgment more closely over the coming days."
