Tony Blair’s intervention could spark a Labour civil war
Prospero or Lear? Is Tony Blair today the magician, bringing resolution and harmony to this strange and fought-over island; or is he an exiled and bewildered king, raging against the ruined land he finds around him?

Tony Blair’s downfall is complete – what a sad, irrelevant end
What a pointless and dispiriting intervention. What a sad move by the most talented politician of his generation.
