On 24th May, Tony Blair spoke to Prospect's Editor Bronwen Maddox at our "Britain in the world" event in Westminster's Central Hall. He argued that the lessons from the Iraq War are "not complicated" and that IS must be taken on "on the ground."

The former Prime Minister also argued that "It's not yet a proven concept that Corbynism can win an election" and that New Labour did not let in too many migrants. Summing up his thoughts on the EU debate, he said "Europe needs Britain's leadership." Find the audio below, along with pictures.
