Blair to promise fightback
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tony Blair will today admit to Labour conference delegates that the party has been in difficulties over fuel and pensions.
Tony Blair will today admit to Labour conference delegates that the party has been in difficulties over fuel and pensions.
He will promise to recognise and respond to the difficulties of recent weeks and will use his keynote address to launch a fightback ready for the next election.
The theme is expected to follow the line from the Northern Ireland Secretary, Peter Mandelson, that the Government's actions could have seemed too high-handed and bureaucratic recently.
Mr Blair will be trying to use the occasion to reverse the Conservatives' rise in recent opinion polls and is expected to respond to growing public feelings that his party has become increasingly arrogant.
In doing so, it is expected that he will not only address the issues of pensions and fuel but also turn to his favourite themes of education and the health service.
