Roland Rudd and Tony Blair follow the money

Friday Tony Blair stepped into the post EU referendum BRexit debate.

Apparently speaking as part of an organisation called Open Britain Mr Blair made a keynote speech and the mainstream media sucked it up.

Six days ahead of two byelections in former Labour strongholds which supported BRexit his speech was ill-timed and ultimately self-serving.

Was his speech aimed at ordinary working class people?

If it was the purpose appears to have been to tell them they are stupid.

Tony Blair and others appearing on Open Britain's social media accounts have their own agenda. For some it is undermining Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn for others it is all about the money.

​Roland Rudd is the chairman of Open Britain:

This is the man behind Open Britain


Roland Dacre Rudd (born 1961) is the founder and chairman of Finsbury (formerly RLM Finsbury), the public relations firm. Rudd was educated at Oxford University, becoming President of the Oxford Union before starting a career in journalism that he left to found Finsbury. He sold that company to WPP plc in 2001, making an estimated £40 million. He continues as chairman of Finsbury and has a variety of other charitable and non-executive posts. He is strongly in favour of British engagement with the European Union and has campaigned for electoral reform. He has been seen as having more political contacts on the left than the right.

Presumably those contacts on the left refer to people like Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and Ed Balls who have links to Rudd.

Rudd is the son of a stockbroker and reportedly had ambitions to be Prime Minister as a child.

His sister is Amber Rudd Conservative Minister.

Opinion:
Look to the people mentioned above if you are still wondering why so many potential voters remain disenfranchised.
