Apologise and just go

Sir, - Since leaving Downing Street, Tony Blair is thought to have amassed a fortune cashing in on his political contacts, tried and failed as peace envoy for the Middle East and called for more wars in Iran, Syria and Yemen.

Now he is threatening to return to politics.

Mr Blair still sees himself as the leader of the Labour Party.

Labour and Tony Blair have been locked in an abusive relationship for two decades, enabling, explaining, convincing themselves that next time will be different.

How is it that Mr Blair routinely walks into softball media interviews?

Unless deprived of publicity, Mr Blair and his flunkeys will continue to pollute the discourse.

Mr Blair’s repeated refusal to apologise for Iraq is his most frustrating fault.

It is an apology he owes the families of those service personnel killed and the people of Iraq.

After that, Mr Blair should do the right thing and just go. Alan Hinnrichs. 2 Gillespie Terrace, Dundee.
