War criminal Tony Blair made an unwelcome return to the political stage yesterday to express his “100 per cent support” for Labour leader Ed Miliband’s election campaign.

The arch-rightwinger praised Mr Miliband’s desire to deny the British people a say on EU membership, claiming an exit would cause economic “chaos.”

But droves of people inside and outside the party thought the ex-PM should have kept his mouth closed, branding the “toxic” intervention hypocritical.
