Tony Blair accused of conspiracy over mass immigration

Tony Blair is accused of ‘presiding over a silent conspiracy’ that allowed two million migrants to enter Britain during his decade in power.
A new biography of the former prime minister by the celebrated investigative journalist Tom Bower claims Mr Blair ordered his Labour government not to publicly discuss the issue.
The book Broken Vows: Tony Blair - the Tragedy of Power alleges that the minister in charge of border control ruled against deporting failed asylum seekers because it would be too “emotional” to do so.
The book, being serialised in the Daily Mail, is also promising to reveal in the coming days:
  • a ‘devastating’ dossier on how Mr Blair tricked members of his cabinet into going to war with Iraq
  • details of how he has earned tens of millions of pounds since leaving Downing Street in 2007 through lucrative deals with autocrats around the world
  • ‘the truth’ about his relationship with Wendi Deng, the ex-wife of the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch
Mr Bower interviewed more than 200 senior civil servants, ex-ministers and insiders and claims Mr Blair told officials and ministers: “Don’t mention the advantages of immigration in public because they won’t even want that.”
The book claims that Mr Blair and his Government ‘cynically repackaged’ asylum seekers as economic migrants to the benefit of 350,000 asylum seekers
