Blair got people like me to vote for him
Wet Tories, One Nation Tories, Red Tories, Pink Tories ... whatever you want to call us. I voted for Blair. There is no earthly way I would vote for Corbyn or any other Momentum leader.
I held my nose and voted Johnson this time, even though I joined the Conservative party a couple of years ago with the one specific aim of voting against Johnson if he ever stood for leader (I voted Hunt). Because the alternatives were too unpalatable. I’d have voted for Blair in a heartbeat today.
