There's something so uncanny about the mismatch between the regard in which Blair is generally held by British people and the regard in which he seems to hold himself.
If I were him I'd have retired from public life and kept a very low profile after Iraq, and everything else for that matter. He doesn't seem to realise that his modern interventions alienate everyone, even Alastair Campbell of all people seemed uncomfortable to the degree he seems to uncritically sing the praises of people like Larry Ellison recently.

Chumbawamba made me unable to take anything associated with him seriously.
He was arguably the most successful UK PM of the last 50 years.
I think I could agree with that, until the Iraq war.
A pretty huge stain on what’s otherwise an exceptional record, though.
By what metric(s)?
I could see him winning at personal financial success

I think you are being a bit obtuse unless you have some genuinely novel information which you should have pointed out without me needing to coax it
