  1. Seems a good day to remind people in the UK that #WesStreeting’s first public event after being elected then made health minister in 2024 was to speak at the #TonyBlairInstitute’s conference on AI and the #NHS. digitalhealth.net/2024/07/wes-

    At the time I decided to read the TBI policy paper on AI given that it was being used as a blueprint for some of Starmer’s government and was blown away at how bad it was. It was obvs co-authored with an AI company. It recognised there were a few problems with AIs - making mistakes and hallucinating - but suggested the answer was just more AI to to check the AI.

    Anyway, the idea that a war criminal turned AI lobbyist is saying the UK doesn’t have enough growth because it’s not letting US AI firms rip up regulatory safeguards really shouldn’t be headline news.

  6. Blair Institute Calls for Pension Triple Lock Abolition

    The Tony Blair Institute suggests ending the pension triple lock. This could change how people get their state pensions in the future.

  7. The Tony Blair Institute wants to remove the pension triple lock, a system that increases pensions by at least 2.5% or inflation. They propose a new 'lifespan fund' instead.

  10. CW: Tony Blair Institute being callous and unrealistic about benefits

    "Once again, the debate is being framed around the affordability of support rather than the affordability of a broken economic model that is making people ill.

    "... Social security exists because people sometimes need security that is otherwise unavailable to them. A civilised society would ask why demand is rising and address the cause. It does not simply move the goalposts and declare fewer people eligible for help."

  11. @faab64 Spot on. This 'labour' government needs a thorough purge, beginning, imho, with tony 'war criminal' blair's expulsion from the party, including all links to his 'institute'.

    Personally, I am sure he is working in the shadows towards his own blairite agenda.

  12. Interestingly #Oracle have given the Tony Blair Institute loads or money, according to the speaker, which seemed quite an important fact, but not included in the slides.

    Seems like a bit of a conflict of interest....

    The article says Oracle have given over $348m to the TBI, ugh.

  13. Has Britain Gone Too Far With Its Digital Controls? | The New York Times

    Yes. And the Tony Blair institute is a lot of the problem.

    “There’s a big philosophical debate going on here,” said Ryan Wain, the executive director of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a London group started by the former prime minister that supports the government’s policies. “There’s a big question about what is freedom and what is safety.”

    " The Boston Consulting Group was found to have played a central role in designing and managing the US- and Israeli-backed project, which aimed to replace the UN as the primary coordinator of humanitarian aid in Gaza."

    BCG now claiming rogue partners.

    But claims persist, "... BCG’s involvement ran deeper. ... created a financial model for Gaza’s postwar ... that included scenarios for mass displacement."

  16. "The Tony Blair Institute (TBI) has been linked to a project widely condemned for proposing the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, involving a sweeping postwar redevelopment of the besieged Strip.

    Plans include a “Trump Riviera” and infrastructure named after wealthy Gulf monarchs, according to documents reviewed by the Financial Times (FT) and revealed on Sunday.

    The vision, outlined in a slide deck titled The Great Trust, was created by a group of Israeli businessmen with support from consultants at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

    BCG’s plan assumed that at least 25 percent of Palestinians would leave “voluntarily”, with most never returning. It remains unclear whether Palestinians would have any choice in the matter, but the proposal has been widely condemned as ethnic cleansing of the territory’s indigenous population.

    The project aimed to transform the enclave which has been reduced to rubble by Israel into a lucrative investment hub. Central to the proposal were blockchain-based trade schemes, special economic zones with low taxes, and artificial islands modelled on Dubai’s coastline.

    Although TBI insists it neither endorsed nor authored the slide, two of its staff members participated in discussions related to the initiative."

  17. #KeirStarmer's response to #TonyBlair's unashamed #fossilfuel lobbying yesterday – #TonyBlairInstitute is funded by #SaudiArabia, Azerbaijan and others (not mentioned in Guardian's lead story) – is so asskissing fawning it's as if TBI wrote it.

    Just before key elections where Labour are under real threat from the Greens, he could have distinguished himself from an AI & oil lobbyist. Instead he clicks heals with a 'yes boss' salute.

    I try to stop moaning about him but he keeps dragging me back.

  18. I thought she had some integrity!!
    Former PM #SannaMarin quits #Finnish #politics to join #TonyBlairInstitute

    Marin, who stepped down as leader of the Social Democrats after finishing third in April’s election, to resign as MP
    Marin, who became one of Europe’s youngest leaders when she took office as prime minister in 2019 and oversaw Finland’s successful application to join Nato, formally stepped down as head of the Social Democrats earlier this month.
