A Warning from Tony Bliar

Remember this line from Britain's then Labour prime minister, Tony Bliar?:

"It [the intelligence service] concludes that Iraq has chemical and biological weapons, that Saddam has continued to produce them, that he has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes." (24/9/02)

Now here's the same Bliar, much enriched (net worth: $30m and counting) in 'retirement', writing in today's Guardian on the frontrunner in Britain's Labour Party leadership contest, Jeremy Corbyn:

"If Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader it won't be a defeat like 1983 or 2015 at the next election. It will mean rout, possibly annihilation." (Even if you hate me, please don't take Labour over the cliff edge, theguardian.com, 13/8/15)

If a warning like that, from a shameless, lying, multi-millionaire war criminal, doesn't get Corbyn across the leadership line (within 45 minutes?), I don't know what will.
