Which British politician do you dislike the least/like the best?

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Blair easily. My personal favourite UK PM.

[MyLifeIsYours]

You want to give credentials to a Tony in the Labour's Party, look at the late Tony Benn, the best prime minster Britian never had. Just watch his speech and contrast that with the abysmal  foreign policy placed by Blair. This is a man with true moral dignity.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Blair of course!

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

Tony Blair, by the length of the equator. He was the best British prime minister of the last 50+ years.

Tony Blair the GOAT

[YE]

Blair, I guess...

[Mr. Smith]

Tony Blair, by the length of the equator. He was the best British prime minister of the last 50+ years.

Harold. Wilson.

Didn't resign until '76. He still counts.

There are sure a lot of Iraq war supporters here. Corbyn is the best by light years here.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Iraq, Schmiraq. I don't like the Iraq War. But. Blair expanded the British welfare state and helped the least fortunate more than any other PM in the past 50 years.
He gets my vote here. Even though I do like Corbyn and never haven't.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

I don't like the Iraq War. But.

As someone who listed "war criminal " first in her preferences, this is such a funny way to put it, even if I ultimately agree (though I didn't vote 'cause Iraq brings down Blair enough that it's close enough that I don't feel it worth voting).

[CumbrianLefty]

Where did all this Blair nostalgia come from? Even if you're on the left Iraq alone makes him worse than Thatcher.

Blair out of a process of elimination. I don't see Thatcher handling Iraq differently, Corbyn has some horrible foreign policy takes, and Sunak has barely been in there but seems similar to Thatcher.

I don't know about that, she wasn't the lapdog for US foreign policy interests she's often made out to be, she didn't support the US invading Grenada, Reagan didn't want her invading the Falklands but she did it anyway, exc. I think she would have known it was a bad idea much like Bush 41 knew better than to go "all the way to Bagdad" in 91.

Well in that case, you almost certainly think wrong. The (then recently) ex-PM Thatcher privately let it be known that she would have taken out Saddam at the end of that war, and then appeared in public appealing for the government to help the Kurds after their failed uprising when Major was still unsure about it. The idea she was some sort of peacenik in these matters is genuinely risible (and Grenada was mostly about RR not informing her beforehand - which she *did* have some reason to be angry about tbf - rather than objecting to intervention there per se)

As with many others, you are letting your dislike of Blair colour things - and never forget that the US was ready to go to war without the UK in 2003, if needs be.
