Tony Blair – 2021 Statement on the Murder of David Amess

The statement made by Tony Blair, the Prime Minister between 1997 and 2007, on 15 October 2021.

David and I came into Parliament together in 1983. Though on opposite political sides I always found him a courteous, decent and thoroughly likeable colleague who was respected across the House. This is a terrible and sad day for our democracy.
