Interesting piece in today's Guardian from Michael Ashcroft polling about why Labour lost in this year general election. Apparently his findings seem to suggest Tony Blair is not as unpopular with Labour voters as a lot on the left seem to think he is:
The polling also shows that those in the Labour electorate who regard Tony Blair as source of shame rather than pride are in the minority. Writing in the Guardian, Ashcroft suggests: “Loyalists as well as defectors to other parties (especially the Conservatives) regard Tony Blair as the best Labour leader for 30 years, as do voters as whole.”
While loyalists and defectors overall both said John Smith, the Labour leader in the mid-90s, did a better job at standing up for the party’s values, both groups put Blair ahead of Smith, Neil Kinnock, Gordon Brown and Miliband on representing the whole country, appealing beyond traditional Labour voters and offering strong, competent leadership.
Corbyn has prioritised denouncing the British invasion of Iraq, saying he will formally apologise on behalf of the Labour party. Many in the Corbyn campaign have argued that a new winning coalition can be formed of radicals in Scotland, former Green voters, disillusioned Ukip voters and those who otherwise do not vote.
Ashcroft argues that Labour needs to win back some of the voters it lost to the Conservatives if it is to have a hope of winning in 2020.

Blair's critics are certainly loud and strident in their views but they apparently are also in a minority 
Someone who talks about radicals of scotland when talking about the snp cannot be taken seriously
