Blair should be stripped of his undeserved Knighthood and put on trial for his corruption, if not for his attempts at totally destroying the Constitution.

Tony Blair had secretly lobbied on behalf of a tech giant that stands to make millions from Labour’s controversial digital ID card scheme.
Documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday reveal that Blair asked Business Secretary Peter Kyle at a private meeting last year to consult with the technology institute founded by Oracle chairman Larry Ellison. Oracle is considered a frontrunner to provide the controversial national ID cards. The Ellison Institute of Technology founder, the world’s second-richest man, has donated or pledged £257 million to Blair’s Institute for Global Change.
The revelations have sparked sharp criticism over transparency and the role of political influence. Oracle denies any wrongdoing, insisting the contract is being awarded solely on the basis of its professional merits and technical expertise.
The controversy erupted days after Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that everyone seeking employment in the UK will need a digital ID card. Officials argue the scheme will strengthen the economy and national security, but opponents warn it could open the door to cronyism.
Oracle already holds major contracts with several government ministries and the National Health Service. Winning the ID card tender would further expand its influence. Critics argue that awarding such a lucrative deal to a company closely linked to a former prime minister risks eroding public trust, despite promises by Keir Starmer and the Labour Party to break with the past. Several MPs have called for a parliamentary inquiry into Blair’s role and the procurement process.
