LABOUR has changed — and for the better, MPs and trade unionists told Tony Blair today after the former prime minister launched a broadside against Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.

The war criminal behind the invasion of Iraq lamented that Labour was “a different type of party” from the one he led. “Can it be taken back? I don’t know,” he told the BBC.

Mr Blair claimed that the British public would not find a choice between Mr Corbyn’s Labour and the Tories “acceptable,” despite last year’s election giving the two main parties their greatest combined share of the vote in decades.
