SUMMARY:Blair's Britain: A Legacy Assessed
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/154952
DESCRIPTION:What was Tony Blair's legacy to the UK and the world?\n
 Even though Former Prime Minister Blair ended his premiership over a decade ago, he is still an eminent figure in public life and British politics. Major questions of policy- from military campaigns to financial crisis to Brexit - involve strong arguments about what his government did, and where it is all leading. The spectre of ā€œBlairitesā€ is part of the present struggle over the direction of the British Labour Party. Some of his leading adversaries, too, regard themselves as Blair's successors and imitators.\n
 To assess Blair's legacy, Charlotte Galpin, Nick Wheeler and Patrick Porter will discuss major chapters of the "Blair era."\n
 This event is public and free to attend.\n
