Tony Blair is quietly advising the Saudi government under a £9 million deal with his “institute for global change”, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.

The former prime minister’s company reached an agreement earlier this year to help support the Saudi Crown Prince’s modernisation programme, under a “not for profit” arrangement.

It is the first major deal to have emerged involving the Tony Blair Institute, which Mr Blair established in 2016 after winding down his commercial operations.

This newspaper understands that the institute received a $10 million (£7.6 million) payment in January for the work, which is carried out by the institute’s staff based in the Middle East.

Pour le reste, il faut payer mais c’est déjà assez instructif comme ça !

Tony Blair’s work as a Middle East envoy was secretly funded by a wealthy Arab state which also employed him as a paid adviser, leaked emails seen by the Sunday Telegraph reveal.

The United Arab Emirates quietly financed Mr Blair’s London office while he also received millions in consultancy fees from the state and the sovereign wealth fund of its capital, Abu Dhabi.

A senior Foreign Office official acting as Mr Blair’s chief of staff in his role as Quartet envoy was also used for assignments connected to his private consultancy empire.
