Summary

Tony Blair’s once-dismissed think tank, now under intense scrutiny, has sparked debate over its ties to big tech companies like Oracle, which funds its work on AI and energy solutions. Critics argue that its ideological focus on technology overshadows ethical concerns about climate change and fairness, while Blair maintains editorial independence. Meanwhile, Blair’s former allies remain divided on his stance on climate policies, with some questioning his resistance despite his long-standing support for green initiatives.
