The first official portrait of Tony Blair, painted by Jonathan Yeo (Son of Conservative Minister Tim Yeo) in 2008. The viewer's eye is automatically drawn to the red poppy on Blair's lapel; a symbol of the many wars fought while he was prime minister. As prime minister, he sent troops into war four times, in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and, most controversially of all, Iraq.
"You've got to be able to manage people. At certain points you've got to delegate otherwise you run the risk of trying to get into the details of everything and it's just not possible, but delegation works better when everyone knows the direction. You make your choice, you're either weak or a dictator"
