Tony Blair
Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953) is a British Labour Party politician, who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007. He now runs a consultancy business and performs charitable work. Blair was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield from 1983 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. Blair led Labour to a landslide victory in the 1997 general election, winning 418 seats, the most the party has ever held. The party went on to win two more elections under his leadership: in 2001, in which it won another landslide victory, and in 2005, with a reduced majority.
Blair was elected Labour Party leader in the leadership election of July 1994, following the sudden death of his predecessor, John Smith. Under Blair's leadership, the party used the phrase "New Labour" to distance it from previous Labour policies and its opposition to the traditional conception of socialism. Blair declared support for a new conception that he referred to as "social-ism", involving politics that recognised individuals as socially interdependent, and advocated social justice, cohesion, equal worth of each citizen, and equal opportunity. Critics of Blair denounced him for having the Labour Party abandon genuine socialism and accepting capitalism. Supporters, including the party's public opinion pollster Philip Gould, stated that after four consecutive general election defeats, Labour had to demonstrate that it had made a decisive break from its left-wing past, in order to win again.

Tony Blair (song)
"Tony Blair" is a single by Chumbawamba which was made available exclusively to the UK mailing list as a Christmas present in 1999. The song is an attack on then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, performed in a 1950s doo-wop style. The lyrics read like a heartbroken letter to an ex-lover who had broken all his promises.
The cover art pays tribute to the iconic artwork of Elvis Presley's debut album, which was also referenced by The Clash's London Calling album cover.
Rupert Perry, the head of EMI Records UK at the time, was reportedly very displeased with the band for issuing the single, and sent them a letter which included the statement "I actually think Tony is really fab". All copies of the CD in EMI offices were later confiscated. The song can be downloaded in mp3 format from the band's website.

Princess Diana funeral bombshell as brother axed explosive chunks of speech
Princess Diana’s brother read out one of the greatest ever eulogies 22 years ago today – but axed huge chunks of it at the last minute. Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, turned into a global hero overnight after his jaw-dropping speech at his sister's Westminster Abbey funeral on Saturday, September 6, 1997. He delivered a thinly-veiled attack on the Royal Family and lashed out at the press, earning his eulogy the title of one of the greatest speeches of the century. But there was even more to be said, after seeing a draft copy of the speech Earl Spencer penned ahead of the sad day. He had crossed out, in a black biro pen, an entire paragraph delivering a withering attack on the press. The Earl also diluted his attack on the royals and even deleted a line of thanks to Diana’s boyfriend D...

Philpott Fire Deaths House Being Demolished 30/09/2013
The house where six children were killed in a fire started by their parents is being demolished. Mick Philpott, his wife Mairead and their friend Paul Mosley were jailed in April after using petrol to set fire to the house on Victory Road in Derby in May 2012. Their six children Jade Philpott, 10, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, were killed in the blaze. Duwayne, 13, died days later in hospital. The demolition work started just after 8am on Monday morning on the neighbouring property and then moved to the scene of the fire. Neighbours watched as the house was torn down more than two years after the tragedy. Cathy Perry, who lives on the street, welcomes the fact that new social housing is to be built in the same place

Princess Diana’s brother read out one of the greatest ever eulogies 22 years ago today – but axed huge chunks of it at the last minute. Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, turned into a global hero overnight after his jaw-dropping speech at his sister's Westminster Abbey funeral on Saturday, September 6, 1997. He delivered a thinly-veiled attack on the Royal Family and lashed out at the press, earning his eulogy the title of one of the greatest speeches of the century. But there was even more to be said, after seeing a draft copy of the speech Earl Spencer penned ahead of the sad day. He had crossed out, in a black biro pen, an entire paragraph delivering a withering attack on the press. The Earl also diluted his attack on the royals and even deleted a line of thanks to Diana’s boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who died with her in the horror car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. Having seen the copy of the speech at Charles’ stately home at Althorp in Northants – where the public are offered tours at £18.50 a pop – we can reveal the exact words which were never spoken. "To say she manipulated the media is to miss the point," the first crossed out section reads. "Yes, she quite rightly harnessed the interests in her to highlight her charities' aims; and, through sheer need to survive, she had to defend her inner self by bowing to the juggernaut strength of the press occasionally. "But 'manipulation', with implied slyness and cunning, I reject the charge against her. From where I stand the only people I see 'manipulating the media' are those who own large chunks of it." Charles’ famous speech earned him a rapturous applause that even rang out inside the church, and it was his attack on the Royal Family which partly earned him this. But we can reveal his criticism of the royals could have been even stronger, as his edited speech, which he read out to a global TV audience of two billion people, also hit out at the stripping of Diana’s royal status following her marriage breakdown with Prince Charles. The Earl described her as a British girl who "needed no royal title to continue to generate her brand of magic". He also, in a single sentence which sparked gasps in every living room across the world, pledged to Prince William and Harry that his "blood family" would protect Wills and Harry from the problems of being a royal and "immersed by duty and tradition". Yet in the unedited speech, he diluted another implied criticism of the royals, deleting a part that suggested Diana had died at a time when she had "at last rediscovered joy in her private life". He changed this to "when she had joy in her private life". And in another surprise deletion, the Earl crossed out his only mention of Diana's boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who died with her in the Alma Tunnel crash. He had planned to say: "And we thank Dodi Al Fayed for making her last weeks ones of happiness." Instead he chose to end with: "Above all we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to b
