Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has revealed that he frequently talks to current Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer, but insists that he does not offer him direct advice. Blair, who has recently released a book on leadership, emphasised the importance of generating optimism and confidence as a leader. He also highlighted the need for long-term missions in government and the time required to turn a country around. Blair's re-entry into public debate marks a significant step in his bid for political rehabilitation.
