Tony Blair looks to be going down for his involvement in the war of lies that preceded the War On Iraq, but it will take a few years. His public shaming begins soon, and hopefully will be followed by a stiff sentence fit for a war criminal.

In the meantime, a long procession of former Blairians take to the media with their tales of Tony. Obviously, they're not good ones :

"The low point was a ‘Make Poverty History’ rally at the Old Vic theatre. It was a ‘celebration’ of our achievements in alleviating Third World poverty, something we were rightly proud of.

Unfortunately the event, with a live satellite link-up to poor people in Africa and President Clinton in the United States, cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to stage.

It was the ultimate vanity exercise which attracted virtually no media coverage, and I was ashamed."

Few of his old associates have good reason now to maintain their loyalty to Blair, and so they won't. The worst stories about Blair will fetch the highest media and publishing prices.
