Blair lines up Mayfair hedge fund speeches

FORMER Prime Minister Tony Blair will give a number of speeches to senior executives at a Mayfair hedge fund, it has been reported.

Blair will give private speeches giving a “macro view on geopolitics” to employees of the hedge fund based in Davies Street, Mayfair, but will not be taking on a formal role with the firm.

The former Prime Minister who left office in 2007 returned to the public glare on Friday when he gave evidence to the Chilcott Inquiry into the war in Iraq. Since leaving office it is thought that Mr Blair has earned millions through advisory jobs and speeches around the world.
