About this deal

a b Blake, Heidi (1 September 2010). "Tony Blair: Gordon Brown Had 'Zero' Emotional Intelligence". Telegraph.co.uk. London: Telegraph Media Group. Archived from the original on 4 September 2010 . Retrieved 9 November 2010. A Journey drew a mixed reception from critics. Financial Times editor Lionel Barber called it "part psychodrama, part treatise on the frustrations of leadership in a modern democracy ... written in a chummy style with touches of Mills & Boon". He wrote that it made Blair seem "likable, if manipulative; capable of dissembling while wonderfully fluent; in short, a brilliant modern politician (whatever his moans about the media)." [55] Writing in The Independent on Sunday, Geoffrey Beattie said A Journey offered an understanding of Blair's "underlying psychology." [56] John Rentoul, author of the Blair biography Tony Blair Prime Minister, was equally positive, giving particular praise to the chapter on the Iraq War. "The chapter on Iraq is tightly argued in some detail, which may persuade those with open minds to recognise that the decision to join the US invasion was a reasonable, if not very successful, one, rather than a conspiracy against life, the universe and everything decent," he said. [57] Mary Ann Sieghart, writing for The Independent said, "whatever its faults, and toe-curling passages, [ A Journey] has many good lessons on how to succeed in both opposition and government.

Retrieved 2 November 2018. While it is perhaps unwise to dwell too much on the personal character of New Labour’s key figures, it is clear that Blair’s sense of personal ability was a driving force throughout, and beyond the moral outrage of Iraq, this had a corrosive effect elsewhere. As his belief in his own ability grew, Blair became increasingly out of touch with his own party, and eventually the country as a whole. From the outset Blair's government played a significant role in the Northern Ireland peace process; in the book Blair admits to using "a certain amount of creative ambiguity" to secure an agreement, [23] claiming the process would not have succeeded otherwise. He says that he stretched the truth "on occasions past breaking point" in the run-up to the 2007 power-sharing deal which enabled the return of devolved legislative powers from Westminster to the Northern Ireland Executive. [24] Both Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin are praised for the part they played in the peace process. [24]

It is perhaps natural that New Labour, a political tendency best associated with obsessive spin and image-management, has garnered a unique degree of media study and fascination. No other government has been the subject of so many column inches, books, and documentaries. Tony Blair alone has been the subject of dozens of biographies and television […] Jamieson, Alastair (1 September 2010). "Tony Blair Memoirs: Former PM on the Labour Leadership Contest".
