Blair sought £30m UAE deal

Tony Blair proposed a £30m contract to advise the United Arab Emirates (UAE) while working as the Middle East peace envoy, according to a confidential document on the deal obtained by The Sunday Times.
The 25-page document provides an insight into how his contacts and charitable activities are used for commercial gain.
It states: “There is virtually nowhere in the world right now where we could not work or provide the necessary contacts either politically or commercially, should we want to.”
It adds: “We have teams of people on the ground working with governments, in 10 African countries and 10 outside Africa. We have offers to work in around 10 more. If we add in the Faith Foundation work, it would be over 50.”
