As I sit opposite Sir Tony Blair in his private office at his Institute for Global Change in Fitzrovia, only 100 yards or so from David Beckham’s Studio 99 production company, I ask if Sir Keir Starmer is good enough to last two terms, or even three?
“Yes, of course, yes, he’s just beginning,” he snaps. “I said to someone the other day who was expressing anxiety about the Government, ‘When was the election? Was it July 4?’ Yes. I said, ‘Three months. I mean, come on. Give the guy a chance, he’s only just started!’”
