THE warmongers are on the warpath again, but this time the familiar faces — Tony Blair and the usual gaggle of gung-ho Labour and Tory MPs — are joined by US President Donald Trump and, taking time off from attacking railway workers, French President Emmanuel Macron.

As Talleyrand said of Louis XVIII and the Bourbon dynasty, Blair and his allies have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing.
