Rachel Reeves can build on the Investment Summit to become The Investment Chancellor by prizing stability, pioneering pension reform & updating fiscal rules in the budget. Britain needs it. Great to share thoughts in @labourlist 👇 labourlist.org/2024/10/intern…

“A roadmap for navigating an increasingly complex world.” I think World Bank President, Ajay Banga, has captured brilliantly and simply the essence of Tony’s book “On Leadership” Great to be at its 🇺🇸 launch with Tony Blair Institute for Global Change friends & colleagues.

Talking pension reform doesn’t do any favours socially but can work wonders unlocking billions in investment. It’s near criminal that Canadian pensioners own more of Britain than our own do. Rachel Reeves is right to reform. We @institutegc made the case for it some time ago 👇

The HM Treasury reforms to consolidate & professionalise UK pensions will benefit pensioners, companies & the economy. As Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has said, the UK has the world's 3rd largest pensions market but none of the top 40 funds. The UK has suffered for it. buff.ly/40FUF74

Great to be at PM’s speech. I thought it was very good although some would argue it should’ve come earlier in the govt. Either way, there’s a long way to go in this parliament and it offered important direction: 1) The state will change. Missions will become ‘missions for

Farage will position Reform as the disruptors in British politics as he takes to the stage today. We on the centre-left must embrace bold, disruptive solutions of our own or we risk being seen as defenders of the status quo. My take for LabourList👇 labourlist.org/2025/01/reform…

Back in Brussels with Tony Blair Institute for Global Change colleagues discussing UK/US elections & future of politics   The electorate feels volatile, but there's a path for those offering transformative change, tackling key issues such as economic pessimism   More on this from our Politics team in 2025

Great to see Guardian cover our report ahead of its launch tomorrow. How do progressives win again and transform their countries? Where does our winning coalition lie? The answer lies in a new programme we call “Disruptive Delivery.” 👇 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Voters have a clear message for the political mainstream: disrupt or be disrupted. Stay still and be left defending a failing status quo. Our work with Peter Kellner shows progressives must respond through ‘Disruptive Delivery’ - a bold, results-driven agenda to restore trust.

Voters are demanding change but mainstream politics isn’t delivering. Across 6 major democracies Tony Blair Institute for Global Change latest research with Peter Kellner & Deltapoll highlights the rise of outsiders but also the chance to build a new coalition. The message: Disrupt or be disrupted.
