LEFT MPs slammed warmonger Sir Tony Blair today after the former PM mounted a scathing attack on Labour’s policy agenda, calling on ministers to rip up net zero targets and reduce the welfare budget.

Sir Tony said the latter risks outpacing military spending by the end of the decade as he called for a curb on the pensions triple lock.

Labour should also have ditched promises like the workers’ rights reforms and commitments on oil and gas licenses in the early days of government, he said.

He attacked the ending of the two-child limit and said Britain should move closer to US President Donald Trump.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn MP said: “Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war. 

“Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires. 

“Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.”

Your Party MP Zarah Sultana added: “The only statement Tony Blair should be making is a plea of ‘guilty’ from the dock at The Hague. He is a war criminal with the blood of over a million Iraqis on his hands.”

Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs secretary Richard Burgon said: “Tony Blair has nothing to offer Labour in 2026.

“His neoliberalism, backing of endless wars and acceptance of inequality are exactly what Labour must break from if it wants to rebuild support and defeat the far right.”

Veteran Labour MP Diane Abbott said: “He is funded, via hundreds of millions of dollars, by tech oligarchs and authoritarian dictators.

“They seem to fear of Labour going rogue, unwilling/unable to carry out the reactionary agenda they demand.”

Fellow backbencher lan Byrne MP said: “This really is tone deaf stuff from Blair.

“The extreme, neoliberal, centre is what’s led to a cost-of-living crisis, food banks and wider decline in our country, and why people across this country are rejecting it outright.

“It’s crystal clear Tony Blair does not care about the lives of working-class people.”

National Pensioners’ Convention general secretary Jan Shortt said that the triple lock has finally begun to “ensure that retired people can move towards a better financial position in later life.”
