By some maybe but not by me. You can trawl back and find occasions when trust evaporated after particular events. Blair was nothing unusual. In truth he was probably the first one to suffer character assassination by social media. That’s what’s different. And it's unlucky for him since it's only Blair who's had his reputation adversely affected by social media. Brown, Cameron, Johnson, May, Truss and Sunak have all been universally regarded as irreproachable political giants.

You were referring to politicians being liars. There were plenty of them involved in Brexit but not in a way connected to this issue.

Blair though seems to have been the first PM to be pilloried on social media, often with wild exaggerations and misrepresentations.

Three general election wins? He wasn't pilloried that badly and at least he's got his £50 million to help him cope.

He didn’t have to dissolve our power and give it to other countries but he did because labour thought it was a gimmee vote forever. Well the snp buggered that up.

What has Blair got to do with the way Brexit was enabled? If Blair had still been PM there it would not have happened. There is no way he would have agreed to a referendum. He would not have risked throwing the country’s future under the bus in the way Cameron did. Indeed seeing UKIP decimate the Tory Party would have been politically advantageous as well. Aw! He loves Tony Blair. What a surprise.
