Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said that the United Kingdom would face a decline in international prestige and slipping gently into a lower league of nations if the government of Boris Johnson does not change its tactics – as reported by Lenta.ru

“Without a radical shift in policy, we face a steady, inexorable compound decline, similar to that of the second half of the 20th century. It could be several years before we realise this, but with our present course, we are relegating ourselves to a league which is poorer, less prosperous and less powerful,” said Mr. Blair.

In his opinion, the government has no plans to solve at least one of the strategic tasks faced by the country. As such, Mr. Blair considers technological revolution and overcoming the problems caused by Brexit and the climate crisis.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being called for the resignation because of the Partygate scandal at his residence during the lockdown
