PODCAST: How Blair’s constitutional wrecking ball damaged the country for good

From the Supreme Court to Devolution to the ECHR, the people’s sovereignty has been compromised

Montage © Facts4EU.Org 2026

On coming to power in 1997 Tony Blair embarked on a programme of major constitutional changes which have resulted in dire outcomes for the United Kingdom.

The incorporation of the European Convention of Human Rights into UK law has undermined our ability to control our borders, has diluted our culture and has compromised national security.

The ill-considered introduction of devolved government to Scotland and Wales has set in motion the disintegration of the Union.

The radical changes to our legal system and the advent of the Supreme Court has transferred lawmaking powers from our elected, accountable Parliament to unelected, unaccountable judges.

In the final Episode VI of Facts4EU's Podcast Series II, Graham comments on how the constitutional changes from 1997 to 2010 have significantly changed life in Britain for the worse.

The Facts4EU Sovereignty Podcasts Season II, Episode VI

How life in the United Kingdom has been severely damaged through constitutional changes
for which the peoples' permission was not sought or obtained.

A personal view by Graham Dale of Independence Facts4EU.Org

Our podcast editor talks about how life in the United Kingdom has been severely damaged through constitutional changes for which the peoples' permission was not sought or obtained. These changes are now so entrenched as to be unlikely capable of significant reform.

Anyone who cherishes British democracy, whether Leaver or Remainer, should be given pause for thought by Graham's reflections on the changes made by Tony Blair.

COMING TOMORROW...

We are working hard to finish another major report which will be covered exclusively by GB News. This will appear tomorrow (Thursday, 30 Apr 2026).

This will be the first in several major reports we have been researching on the whole subject of Net Zero. Given that the reputations of several members of the Government are constantly in the news at the moment, it seemed only fitting to centre our first piece around someone who has thus far managed to avoid the unwelcome limelight.

Yes, our star is none other than the Secretary of State for Crashing the Economy, a.k.a. Energy Security and Net Zero, the Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP. Whilst the entire government is culpable in our exclusive and unique revelations, Mr Miliband Jnr takes centre stage.

You do NOT want to miss this!

Observations

Volunteering for Facts4EU

Graham volunteered at Christmas, and here he is with his sixth and final podcast of Season 2. He also has two articles for Facts4EU under his belt.

You could join Graham and the other members of the team. Could you volunteer to help us in some way? We badly, badly, need more help. You can be as part-time as you wish and you don't need to make any commitment - merely to offer assistance when you can. It could be anything, from a simple bit of Google research, to summarising some key points from a government document, to writing a full-blown report, to coding up a piece for the website, to posting on social media, or to any other manner of activity.

We work collaboratively so we fit in help wherever and whenever we can find it in order to produce the finished result. Why not get in touch?

And "Please, please help us to carry on our vital work in defence of independence, sovereignty, democracy and freedom by donating today." Thank you.
