Tony Blair Blasted By Labour MP’s After His Refusal To Cut Ties With Saudi Arabia
Labour MP’s are insisting that war criminal Tony Blair cut ties with Saudi Arabia and pull the plug on the multimillion-pound deal his organization has with the regime following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The former Labour prime minister has so far resisted calls to end relations with the kingdom despite critics saying he will be “complicit in war crimes and murder” if he doesn’t terminate the deal.
Blair’s Global Institute for Global Change struck a multi-million pound deal with the Saudi government to “support the change programme” in the nation.
RT reports:Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle says that, in light of the recent murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, coupled with Saudi Arabia’s ongoing war in Yemen, it would be “absolutely immoral” for Blair to continue his close relationship with the kingdom, Business Insider (BI) reports.
“If Mr Blair doesn’t see the light and continues to accept money from the Saudis then I think his moral integrity is in ruins,” Russell-Moyle told BI.
“Our own government is reviewing their relationship with Saudi Arabia and if others are not doing the same, then they are complicit in war crimes and murder,” he added.
Fellow Labour MP Chris Williamson took to social media to suggesting it would be appropriate for Blair’s institute to return the money it has received from the Saudis.
In view of the the grizzly allegations, it would seem appropriate for the Tony Blair Institute to return the donations from Saudi Arabia https://t.co/Mc8Umn3Ro7
