Tony Blair

Spokesman, Interior Spokesman from 1992. He was elected leader of the Labour Party with 1994. Blair is the youngest leader in the history of the Labour Party. 1May 1997, he became the youngest prime minister in Britain since 18 12, and later served as chief finance minister and civil minister. After he became prime minister, he boldly reformed the Labor Party and made a series of adjustments to the internal and external policies of the former Conservative government. In June 20001year, he won the general election again and was re-elected as prime minister, becoming the first re-elected prime minister of the Labour Party in British history. Blair is interested in law, trade unions, taxation, trade, energy, employment and crime. Like reading, tennis, music; He is the author of New Britain and Young Country in My Eyes. Editing this political career

Blair was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 1953. His father is a lawyer and his mother is a teacher. He spent most of his childhood in Durham. Blair received an education at Fitz Middle School, which is known as Eton College in Scotland, and then studied law at St John's College in Oxford University with a degree. After graduating from college, Blair 1975 joined the Labour Party, and 1982 failed to run for parliament in Beaconsfield, a traditional conservative constituency. In the early 1960s, Blair was regarded as a "soft leftist" in the Labour Party, trying to control the Labour Party. 1983 was elected as a member of parliament of Sedgefield and has been re-elected since then. After the Labour Party was defeated by Margaret Thatcher in the general elections of 1983 and 1987, Blair firmly stood on the side of the reformists in the party. He cooperated with reformist leader Neil Kinnock and became a member of the shadow cabinet, transforming the Labour Party into a more moderate party. After kinnock resigned due to the defeat of the 1992 Labour Party election, Blair continued to serve as Home Secretary in John Smith's shadow cabinet. 1994 When Smith died of a heart attack, Blair reached a political deal with Gordon Brown, another member of the shadow cabinet. Blair was the leader of the Labor Party and Brown was the finance minister of the future Labor Party government. Blair and Brown worked together to reform the Labour Party and revise party constitution. Instead of the policy of nationalization, he emphasized that he was good at financial problems (the Conservative government at that time could not solve economic problems) and called himself "New Labour Party". Although these reforms were criticized by political opponents and traditional supporters of the Labour Party, they were successful. The reform of the Labour Party itself, the differences between the Conservative government and the EU policy, and the influence of a series of corruption scandals led to the "New Labour Party" winning a huge one-sided victory in the British general election with a ratio of 65,438 to 0,997. Blair was the first British prime minister to give birth in Downing Street in the 20th century. On February 26th, Blair became the first British Prime Minister to address the Irish Parliament. In the 200 1 British general election, the Labour Party once again maintained an unprecedented huge advantage, and Blair became the first Labour Prime Minister to win a second term. William haig, leader of the Conservative Party, resigned. He is the first Conservative leader who has not become prime minister since Austen Chamberlain in 1920. After the 9 1 1 incident, Blair quickly declared his solidarity with the United States. Before the war in Afghanistan, he participated in a series of shuttle diplomacy to help consolidate the international anti-terrorism Coalition. To this day, he still plays this role and has visited many countries that other leaders may think are too dangerous. Blair is a staunch supporter of President George W. Bush's plan to attack Iraq, although this plan is highly controversial. Blair soon became one of the representatives of the main warring factions, and often clashed with French President Jacques Chirac, who held a firm anti-war stance. Blair is considered to be better at speaking than Bush. Before the war broke out, he made many speeches, emphasizing the necessity of overthrowing Saddam Hussein's regime. Although Saddam Hussein's accusation of possessing weapons of mass destruction was the main reason why the United States and Britain launched the war, Blair also emphasized Saddam's record of trampling on human rights and defended the war. The British army also participated in the US-Iraq War in 2003. Since the war, no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, which has caused many controversies about the Prime Minister in Britain, many of which come from the Labour Party. Many people in the Labour Party dislike Bush and oppose the Iraq war.

Tony Blair and his wife

On August 1 2003, Blair became the longest-serving Prime Minister of the Labour Party in history, but the death of Dr. david kelly hung over Blair, and there was no celebration within the Labour Party. In 2004, 65438+1October 27th and 65438+1October 28th were the most dangerous days in Blair's political career, which were called "24 hours in hell". Due to opposition within the Labor Party, his higher education bill may not pass the second reading-this is the first similar political crisis he has faced since he took office. The next day, the Hutton Report, an investigation report on the death of Dr. david kelly, will also be released, and most people predict that the report will blame Blair and his government. In the end, the bill to increase college tuition fees was passed by five votes. On the other hand, Lord Hutton's report focuses on criticizing the bad reports of the BBC, but only downplays the government's mistakes. Although the Hutton report defended a large amount of information, the problem of information use that led to the Iraq war surfaced again. Blair finally decided to start another investigation, this time to assess the use of intelligence before the war broke out. On May 2007 10, Blair made a speech to his supporters in Triem, Sedgefield, England, and announced that he would submit his resignation to the Queen of England on June 27th, ending his prime minister career of 10. He also announced his resignation as leader of the Labor Party to make way for Gordon Brown, the "successor" and chancellor of the exchequer. Blair is the longest-serving British prime minister in the history of the Labour Party, and the only prime minister in the Party who led the Labour Party to win three consecutive general elections. However, in the face of various criticisms, he formally submitted his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II on June 27th, 2007, thus ending his career as Prime Minister for 10 and officially stepping down. Edit the family situation in this paragraph.

Blair's family

Blair's wife, Cherie Booth, is a famous lawyer. They met at 1976, when they were both studying law. They have three sons and a daughter. Their youngest son Leo was born on May 20th, 2000. He was the first child born to the first family in Britain in the 20th century. Although the Blair family has always wanted to protect their children's privacy from infringement, there are still many reports about the first family. It is reported that Blair's eldest son is drinking and partying to celebrate the end of the middle school exam, and this report is two days after Blair proposed the policy of fines for drunken people. His wife and children are both Catholics. From June 65438+1October 65438+September 2003, Blair was treated for heart problems. Edit this quotation of ten years in power.

1in February, 1997, speaking to the crowd outside the Prime Minister's Office, he said: "The new Labour government will be in power on the basis of the interests of all the people and the whole country. Enough has been said, and now it's time to act.

Blair on the cover of The Economist (12 photos). 3 1 When Princess Diana died in August, 1997, she said, "She is the princess of the people. In our hearts and memories, she will always be the princess of the people." 1998 On July 8, when talking about the assumption that trust is the most important part of the government, he said: "As a government, we must be cautious about innocence and let people know that we have no improper aspects or forms." 1997 165438+1October16 When the government allowed Formula One cars to be exempted from the tobacco advertising ban and the race owners donated10 million pounds to Blair's Labor Party, he said, "I think most people I have dealt with think that. 1April 7, 998, before arriving in Northern Ireland to sign the Good Friday Agreement, he said, "I like today. I mean, today is not a day to play music. We can leave those things at home, but I feel the hand of history patting our shoulders. " 1On May 27th, 997, the NATO summit in Paris expressed hope for the future of international relations, saying, "Our generation can consider not having war all their lives and not sending our children to the battlefield. This is an invaluable reward. " 1On March 26th, 999, when announcing Britain's participation in NATO air strikes against Serbia, he said, "We are doing the right thing, and we must let the world know that we cannot allow barbarism to triumph over justice. This is the right thing. " On September 20th, 2006, 5438+0, he expressed his support for the "9 1 1" terrorist attack, saying, "I tell you, we are shoulder to shoulder with you now without any hesitation." On March 13, 2003, he explained to the parliament why he launched the Iraq war: "This is not a weak moment, which shows that we will stand up for the justice we recognize, and we will fight tyranny, dictatorship and terrorists. They put our lives in danger, showing that we have the courage to do the right thing at this decisive moment. " On June 5438+1 October1day, 2004, he announced that the 2005 general election would be his last general election, and said: "If I am elected, I will be in power until the end of my third term. I don't want to ask for a fourth term. I don't think the British people want a prime minister who has been in power for so long. However, I think it is wise to explain my intention now. " On September 7, 2006, he announced that he would leave his post within one year: "I personally tend to do it in my own way, but the party congress to be held in a few weeks will be my last party congress as the party leader. The trade union meeting to be held next week is also my last trade union meeting, which may be a relief for all of us. " On September 26th, 2006, I delivered a farewell speech at the Labour Party Conference: "You have given me all the achievements and everything we have achieved for Britain together. Next year, I won't give another speech, but no matter where I am or what I am doing in the future, I will join you and wish you all the best and all the success. " 65438+February, 2006 19, when he summed up his political experience, he said, "The first time I went into politics, I wanted to please everyone. After a while, I realized that I couldn't please everyone. Therefore, the best choice is to do what you think is right, and people can make their own judgments. This is Blair theory. " On May 10, 2007, when he announced that he would resign as Prime Minister, he said, "I have been working as Prime Minister for 10 years. In today's world, I think it's long enough for me, especially for this country. Sometimes the only way to overcome the temptation of power is to let go. " Looking back on 10 years before he became prime minister, Blair said: "At that time, people's expectations for the future were extremely high, sometimes too high ... I asked myself, I thought I did what I thought was right. I may have made a mistake, which will be judged by you. But please believe me, I did what I thought was good for the country. " Edit this paragraph during the prime minister's term.

Enter Downing Street.

Blair officially became British Prime Minister on1May 2, 997. Later, he also served as First Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister of Civil Service, leader of the British Labour Party, and member of Parliament of Sedgefield constituency in northeast England. As a British cabinet minister, he is also an adviser to the Privy Council. Blair is the longest-serving British prime minister in the history of the Labour Party, and the only prime minister in the Party who led the Labour Party to win three consecutive general elections. After Blair left office, the post of Prime Minister and Party leader was taken over by Chancellor of the Exchequer Bai Gordon, and Blair was immediately appointed as the special envoy for the Middle East by the four parties concerned.

Relations with Congress

During Blair's tenure, he made many reforms to the proceedings of the House of Commons. The first change after he took office was to merge the Prime Minister's Q&A session, which used to last 15 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday, into Wednesday only, but the time was extended to 30 minutes. Blair said it was to make the question-and-answer session more efficient, but critics retorted that he did it just to prepare the answers to the questions. In addition to the Prime Minister's Q&A session, Blair will hold a press conference once a month to let reporters ask questions on different issues. The atmosphere is more harmonious than parliamentary debates.

Relations with the media

In 2002, Blair generally believed that his skills in dealing with the media were far superior to his ability to debate in Congress. In front of TV cameras, he always shows the charm that political leaders should have, and often gives the audience a sense of modernity, informality and expressiveness. Perhaps the most profound televised speech left by the world for Blair was his speech on the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in August 1997, in which he described Diana as "the people's princess" and was widely adopted.

Relationship with Gordon Brown

As early as 1994, when John Smith died, both Blair and Gordon Brown were regarded as popular candidates for the new party leader.

Blair and Brown

The two of them promised to cooperate with each other. At first, Blair should have given way to Gordon White because he thought he was senior, but later they found that Blair had gained more public support. On May 30th, 1994, 1994, Gordon White promised Blair that he would not run for the position of leader. It is known that Blair promised to step down as a leader for a period of time (say, eight years) in return, but Blair repeatedly denied any deal between them in public. However, related rumors were later made into TV series by British Channel 4 in September 2003.

Religious belief

Blair rarely talks about his religious beliefs in public, but he was once considered an Anglo-Catholic, that is, a member of the Anglican Church. Gao Sect is a Christian Sect that accommodates Roman Catholicism, and Blair's wife Peng herself is also a Roman Catholic. Blair usually attends mass with his family at Westminster Abbey in London, but local cardinal Hume criticized him for not being a Catholic, but taking communion at mass.

criticize

Criticism of Blair mainly focuses on his relationship with US President Bush and his policies towards the Middle East, including the Iraq war, the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict and the Israel-Palestine conflict. In addition, he was criticized for distorting the news and misleading the people by means of "political makeup". Blair is also the first incumbent British prime minister to be questioned by the police in history.

Relations with the United States

During the term of US President Bill Clinton, Blair established friendly relations with him. Since then, although George W. Bush took over as president of the United States, Blair has established a solid political alliance with him and actively linked up with him in foreign policy. However, former South African President nelson mandela said Blair was like Bush's foreign minister. In addition, some people point out that Blair is "Bush's poodle", which reflects Blair's feeling of blindly identifying with the United States in foreign policy. Even Kendall Myers, an official in the State Council, pointed out that Bush's attitude towards the British Prime Minister made him feel "humiliated" to some extent. He believes that the alliance between the two is one-way, Bush did not repay Blair, and the two are not mutually beneficial.

Middle East Policy and Its Relationship with Israel

Shortly after Blair joined the Labour Party in his early years, he joined an organization called "Friends of Israel of the Labour Party". Later in 1994, a colleague who used to work in the same law firm with Blair introduced him to a man named Michael Levy (later became Lord Levy) at a dinner hosted by Israeli diplomats. Li Wei is a big shot in the pop music field and a person who is keen to help the Jewish community raise funds. Blair and Levi soon became good friends. They often played tennis together.

Relations with the Labour Party

Blair's delay in explaining the exact time of stepping down at the end of his term of office made him criticized by the British media and parliamentarians. It is reported that some cabinet ministers believe that Blair's delay in explaining the time of stepping down is because he intends to run for the fourth general election [32]. In the summer of 2006, the Blair family went to the Caribbean for a holiday. After returning to China, he expressed the hope that people from all walks of life would stop speculating about the time when he would step down, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many loyal supporters of the Labour Party.

Maintenance price

In May, 2006, the Daily Telegraph reported that Blair's approval rate dropped to only 26%, which was lower than that obtained after Wilson devalued the pound and Callahan's Unsatisfied Winter. This marks that Blair became the most unpopular British Prime Minister of the Labor Party after the war. On record, however, Margaret Thatcher and john major of the Conservative Party received less support than this figure. However, it is worth mentioning that at the end of the 1997 general election, Blair had the highest support rate in the history of British Prime Minister. Blair edited this paragraph after leaving office as prime minister.
