For all this McKinsey management speak, the real source of inertia in Blair's government was the dysfunctional relationship he had with his Chancellor Gordon Brown, resulting in two power centres who were not always on the same page on very major issues over a period of ten years. Blair didn't resolve that, and the TB-GB struggles were far more decisive a factor than any supposed bureaucratic resistance.

@@williamphelps8550 It was always a present factor even in first term. The problem with a vague deal under which Blair would at some point hand over to Brown was the tension between Blair's legacy-shaping efforts and Brown's views about what he wanted his inheritance to be by the time he took over. By 2001 at the latest it was a full blown contest. Instances of dysfunction included the way in which Brown unilaterally vetoed -- via leaks to the press -- Blair's hopes for moving towards joining the Euro, and Blair going on TV without consultation to announce a massive hike in heath spending.

​@@lucianopavarotti2843 I'm not sure Brown was wrong about not joining the Euro? As much as being in the EU is better on balance than being out, a common currency without a union as closely integrated as the US still seems like one of the worse aspects of it? Happy to be wrong, curious to hear other ideas. I am also, personally, not sure the "ever closer union" thing is a good idea in the case of Europe. Although a very close union is still clearly beneficial for both EU countries and the stability of the world.

I've never heard of AI framed as a July 1914 moment before, but it's a striking comparison. Everything happened very quickly and every single important decision-maker dropped the ball. If AI has a sharp takeoff, this is exactly the scenario we need to be worried about. The good news about such a comparison is that only one of those decision-makers needed to have a moment of sanity and the war would have been much smaller and far less destructive, or even averted entirely.

Being the head of government in America has no equivalence to being the head of government in the UK. I think this is something UK citizens really don't have a handle on. Tony made some mistakes in some ways but he was very aware of how American power shapes Europe. Is another world. Europe could break tomorrow and yes that means you in the UK but also America could break tomorrow.. Western democracy is broken and fractured. This is power to people who don't share our values.. The future is uncertain.. if Europe can't focus on what it has in common, it's doomed. This is true for America states too.

The most inspiring and thoughtful British PM since the Second World War, who redefined the challenges for Britain and the West in ways that will remain part of our discourse for many years to come. Sadly sidelined and criticized by detractors in Britain, essentially over one foreign policy failure, he is increasingly being sought after in Britain. He was better respected overseas, including much of the Middle East already. Tony Blair of 1997 is not the same today. He has actually grasped, evolved, and grown into the towering intellectual figure we have today. Much like Lee Kwan Yew whose greatness continues to shine a light on the path ahead for peaceful progress. Well done on persuading Tony Blair to participate!

SINGAPORE different from others because: 1. The population is small 2. The people are not that intellectual at the time. 3. Singaporean at that time is glad that they were release from colonisation that makes them united.

Lots of focus on the cult of personality of political leaders. In Switzerland we have no number 1 political leader , it is spread over a body of 7 people , who hand over the mantle of "president" every 12 months ...

Disappointing to see Tony Blair taken in by the LLM hype train. It’s absolute bollocks.

28:00 dwarka asks what to do about foreign government he doesn't like when the usual tools (regime change, war, bribes) aren't working. If that isn't a 'deepstate' kinda question, what is?
