‘Worry no longer, I am back’ – Tony Blair’s Why I Have Always Been Right About Everything, digested by John Crace

John Crace's satirical digest of Tony Blair's essay portrays the former Prime Minister as returning to criticize Labour's self-delusion while embodying self-delusion himself. Blair boasts of his three election victories and positions himself as the perfect critic of Labour's failings, though Crace suggests his motivations are self-serving rather than genuinely constructive. The piece uses parody to mock Blair's messianic self-regard and imply that his return to political commentary is driven by ego rather than authentic concern for the party.
