UK press lambasts Tony Blair

Special envoy for the Quartet on the Middle East Tony Blair, who was responsible for Britain’s involvement in the 2003 war in Iraq, has prompted a storm of outraged comment for insisting that the decision to invade the country was not a mistake.
In a series of television interviews and a blog post, the former Labour leader has described criticism of the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power as “a bizarre reading of the cauldron that is the Middle East today”. At the same time he has voiced support for further military action in the country: “President Obama is right to put all options on the table in respect of Iraq, including military strikes on the extremists”.
On its front page, i reports that the British Labour Party has been quick to distance itself from its former leader, citing “sources close to Ed Miliband” who “refused to endorse Mr Blair’s analysis.” In a scathing editorial, the daily also remarks —

It always seemed inevitable that Tony Blair would crawl out from the woodwork to deny any responsibility for the worsening security situation in Iraq.
In the columns of The Daily Telegraph, Boris Johnson insists that Mr Blair's assertions are "so jaw-droppingly and breathtakingly at variance with reality that he surely needs professional psychiatric help," while at the same time admitting that as a Conservative MP, he too voted in favour of the invasion.
With regard to the question of further military intervention, writing in The Independent veteran Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk insists that Mr Blair would do well to keep his opinions to himself —
How do they get away with these lies? Now Tony Blair tells us that Western “inaction” in Syria has produced the Iraq crisis. But since bombing Syria would have brought to power in Damascus the very Islamists who are now threatening Baghdad, it must therefore be a mercy that Barack Obama does not listen to the likes of Blair.
