Tony Blair

Tony Blair's decision to openly court Rupert Murdoch to win power and ensure favourable coverage during his decade-long tenure as British prime minister will come under scrutiny when he faces a media inquiry today.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's fans can dine and have their photograph taken with him for $1500 when he makes a one-stop visit to New Zealand in July.

Tony Blair has cancelled a planned public appearance in London to promote his new memoir over concerns about potential disruption from protesters.

It's a political memoir with celebrity trappings - secrecy, security, a multimillion-dollar deal and, crucially, controversy.

Will he expose the deal critics suspect carried Britain and the United States to war in Iraq?

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair will be publicly questioned about the Iraq war during Britain's long-awaited inquiry into mistakes made before and during the conflict, the inquiry chairman says.
